Amp / speaker problem

[mikeykey]

I have an mtx 1500 watt amp and two 10 inch pioneer subs in my hoe. For the past couple months, my subs will fire once or twice at random times. This occurs regardless if the radio is on or off. I also have pulled the rca cables and the problem still occurs at random times. I'd say they fire at a rate of once every other minute.

I’ve played with the adjustments on the side of the amp as well with no luck (gain, freq, etc.)

It seems like only one of three things: power wires, the amp itself (its probably 10 years old) or the subs (which are only about a year old).

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

where did you ground the subs too?

 

[mikeykey]

I ran the ground wire through a hole in the body under the rear seats and out onto the frame. Wire brushed the frame, bolted, them painted to prevent rust

.....Def. not a grounding issue unless it's come loose over time. easy thing to check. Thanks.

definately sounds like a loose connection somewhere

where does your amp turn on line come from?

You can pull your remote turn on wire out and short the turn on terminal to the power imput, if it goes away its your remote lead. If not string a new power wire straigt from the battery, if it still happens your amp is prolly shot.

Now thats some good advice!!!! wow..i'm pretty electrical savvy but didn't think of using a jumper to see if its my remote wire.

First thing i'll do is check ground, very next thing will be the remote wire. Thanks

if RCA's are out and it does it, sound slike ground.
