if it makes the weird thump when its meant to be playing it generally says that either the amp's channel that your running off is playing up and sending an incorrect signal or that the amp itself is tuned way to high for the recommended setting of the sub.

btw has it only just recently started to make the noise or is this from a new amp/sub set up?

if your located in the northen burbs of melb your more than welcome to bring it round to my place and i can have a look at it.

thanks for offering to fix it, but i live in sydney... the problem has only just started to play up... i will try re tuning it

thanks heaps

When I started to hear distortion in my car I originally thought I had blown a rear speaker. Turns out it was the sub, the cone had separated from the rubber surround.

But really this could be a lot of things. Try another sub if you have one/can borrow one, that will rule out your sub packing it in.

Fixxxer :laugh:

ive got the same problem at the moment i call the dude that installed my system he rekons its the amp sending sme signal or interferance somthing like that anyway

lucky its still under warranty so now ive gota take it bak to moto quip and they will send it off then i will knoe whats wrong i guess ill try my other fusion sub just rule out the sub

shiting itself any info would be great ppl if you have had the same prob and fixed it.

Cheers

alright, so im assumung that when you listening to music, the sub just randomly starts thumping? few things you need to check.

1 make sure that your rcas arent shorting out anywhere.

2. make sure that they are plugged in securely to the headunit, and to the amp

3. make sure that the amp is grounded properly, and is receiving sufficient power

4. ensure that all your speaker cables are secure, and arent shorting out.

if this doesnt fix the problem, then take the amp out, and try it in another car. if it still does it, the amp is most likely fuxxord

cheers bud its under warranty wiring is fine thats the first thing i checked was the rca ant that so i will get my amp back in 2 weeks

    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
