If I leave the volume on 2/3 and a song that does this plays it happens mid song it will blow the hell out of it. There's a DSP occupancy to optimise for driver or all passengers but I've set it to all. Only 3 eq settings on factory stereo of bass mid and treble, all are default and set to 0...

So I've connected a line converter to a MK7 fiesta stock radio. On some songs the bass is extremely high, like the rare song. But I've tested a few and it seems like something to do with the stereo increasing bass when not many other frequencies are playing. If the volume is on 2/30 the bass is...

So if I do it across a bridged channel would I set it to 30V as a 4ohm load would be 2ohms bridged wouldnt it? As when I playing with a tone generator you can really hear the clipping at 40hz but 50hz sounds okay, for the clipping to go at 40hz I need to turn the volume down by 2. Or would I set...

Ah wicked thank you. Also the amp I'm testing is 460W rms, if I put the voltage to about 450W 440W would that suffice the voltage drop? The manual says 460W RMS at 14.4. Is the a mathematical way to work it out of its dropped to say 13.6V when the bass hits? As the voltage drops then goes up a...

I know how to set the gain with a multimeter, but is there a reason why all eq and extras should be flat? If I set the gain and then play with the EQ a it will that not send the amp into clipping or something? Thank you!

Slight update, had my dad run the amp at his work as he has a power supply for it there and no noise. So the only thing I can assume is interference from the engine loom or fuse box going into the power cable? Could explain why the noise flickers when I throw on the hazards. Can the power...

Anyone? 😞

Yeah, but it makes the noise after 10 mins or so not as soon as it turns on. And the noise still continues after I take the rca cables out so it cant be them because the volume on the head unit is at 0 too. The volume doesnt effect the noise unless I crank it right up and turn it down. After I...

Another slight update, it seems to go away if I crank up the volume then turn it down once the squealing is there. After about 5 seconds it will come back?

Slight update, the subs squeal when I take out the rca cables for them, and if I half poke in the 4th channel so only the positive touches the slot and not the outside if the rca it's a lot louder of a squeal. Could this just be a ground issue with the rca contacts inside the amp? It's just...

I've got a Vibe Slick A3 and running the door speakers off channels 1 and 2 at a 2 ohm load and a sub bridged off channels 3 and 4 at 4ohm. The sub doesnt whine but the door speakers do after a few mins of being turned on. I've ran the speaker wires up to the head unit and just cut into those...

Thank you, I’ll keep you posted if it fixes it, the terminals are dry so their could be corrosion on them! I’ll do it either in a min or tomorrow on my lunch break  sanded down the terminals and everything and voltage still drops the same :(  

Tested it again at work, one cca says 380a the other days 270a so the batteries powerful enough. Voltage drops to around 13.85 now when they bass hits and around 13.7 with the fans on max and the bass hitting and the headlights. Could slight corrosion on the positive on the amp on the battery...

My dashboard was dimming too, usually using both my windows make the interior light dim too but not as much as my sub sorry for double post 

Turns out the ground terminal from my amp to the screw screwing it in is 5.1ohms, is that bad? I think I read somewhere it needs to be under 1 lol sanded off corrosion and more paint and used a fatter screw and it’s at 1ohm when I first do it then stablizes at 0.7ohm. I’ll keep you guys posted...
