"BOOM" noise when ignition turns off?

This one has me scratching my head.

When I turn the car off when the volume is up a bit the subs make a loud boom or pop noise. I thought at first it may have been a poor earth to the amp, but after reading the forums I have it earthed to the same point everyone seems to suggests (using the same point as the battery is earthed)

If the volume is turned to minimum then it doesnt do it and if i turn the deck itself off it doesnt do it either, only when the ignition is turned off with the volume up.

The amp is an Alpine 1507, could this cause the problem? Front speakers which run off a kenwood amp dont do it which make me think its not the deck.

Any help any one?

what sort of head unit is it? i had a trusty alpine headunit for 18 months never had a problem with it, sold it, my mate bought it and it did this in his car, it ended up getting sent away to alpine australia, and it turned out it was the alpine player didn not like the fusions amps in his car, and alpine fixed it free of charge

Certainly.

I have installed many of those amps before and not once have I ever suffered from turn on/off thump.

Have you upgraded the battery negative as well as all the amp negatives? Try this for me.

1. Disconnect your remote wire from the head unit.

2. Run a seperate wire from your battery to the amp.

3. Turn the system on.

4. Now feed the amp with 12 volts on the remote.

If this turns it on and off with out the thump, then you'll know it's either the Kenwood amp of the deck. This is the first step in the process of elimination. I'll await your reply before suggesting anything else. :rofl:

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
