Let me begin with, I am happy to be a part of the community, and glad I can provide service at time. This is my first post, and am just now starting to get into an audio system. Just bought a new car, and along with that a system, and am trying to accustom myself accordingly. Thanks and I appreciate all your guys' help/input in advance! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/clap.gif.178cba2c538c68e720c727fcb024b19c.gif
So I recently purchased a new system from my neighbor, (along with a car; '97 Saturn sl2 first car!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/graduate.gif.d982460be9f153bb54e5d4cb744f6ae8.gif) I do not have full details, but know the amp is an x file audio xr1800d 1800W amp. There is 2x 10'' Tweeters, and 2x 12'' subs, along with a Sony deck. (Can provide more detailed info. if needed) When I turn on the car the amp automatically turns on accompanied by a loud "Thump" This isn't just a startup/shutdown thump. This thump persists every time I; change sources, change track (on cd,), surf radio channels. We have tried regrounding and RCA cables. Also, a problem we are having with the vehicle is there are not many places to ground the speakers, any tips for that also? Any help or ideas you guys could have us try would be great, and again, thanks in advance!
Note: I know my neighbor isn't trying to rip me off, as he is coming over and trying his best to help and is baffled by it too. Offering to try his other amp and see if that would fix the problem, it's just higher end so more money.
