Amp installation, speaker problem
« on: 09 March 2012, 23:18 »
Hello,

Just installed. Now even on low volume i get pops on the beat of a song.

Would you say amp grounding?

Please help.

If not the earth which i doubt. The speaker wires or the RCA leads. Switch it to HPF for highs and mid speakers or LPF for a subwoofer.

Ive seen some shoddy cabling where a strand of speaker cable is touching the other ternimal on the amp. This lead to crackling.
