What do you mean by fuller sound?

You want to hear more freq range?
Louder bass?
Clearer front end?

If speakers pop when amp turns off sounds like the amp is bust mate. I had that with mine & it's being fixed. Think it's something to do with the ground.

Hu's. I like alpine sound, but units like pioneer p77 are good. Old school but packed full of features. 

Meant when I connect the face to the HU...it used to pop and now nothing...used to be my indicator that it was working...Speakers never popped when I took the face of the HU??

No normally its the internals of the component itself.

First thing to do, check all your connections, then re-check.

Also what has worked in the past is getting an rca with a ground & grounding that. Any interference in the rca will be grounded & may help.

These are long shots as in my experience its repair of replace time!!!

You'll need to find someone with an amp or HU.

Switch them around. When it doesn't do it you've found what the problem is.

Simples!

expensive problem solving!!!

But anyways...as for the amp can I just buy any amp? Just confused how it will link onto the fli as it is a sealed unit?

Off on ebay to have a look for amps  :wink:

Just connect it as normal. An active sub box is only a sub box with an amp screwed to it.

All you need is a mate with an hu. Replace them if it still happens it's the amp.

Should take bout 20mins mate.

How much have you got to spend on an amp?
