Hi Everyone,

I just put my subs back in, and now whenever my car turns on, the pulse at full volume for like 2 seconds....

This happened once or twice before I took them out, so far its happens every time since I put them back in...

Setup:
2 13Kv4 eD Subs
1 NINe.2x Amp
4 Gauge KnuKonceptz Wiring Kit
07 Stock Premium Headunit

oh, i see. sorry.

i would double check all the wiring up front at the HU. it seems like a wiring issue somewhere. maybe a bad ground. just check everything over.

next make a new ground to bare metal chassie away from your last one.

make a new ground for the amp. ground it to the chassie of the car, strip all paint away, then use self tapping screws to secure to the chassie(under rear seat is a good place). check clearance dont go through your gas tank lol

oh wait you just said you are usesing a line output converter? if thats the case then you need to adjust it and turn it down. let me ask you this when the car is on and you turn just the deck off does it make the same sound?

Its grounded on a natural looking eyehook thing at the moment... I can get some pictures tomorrow

So even though the amp may work its not properly grounded?

Ok, where did you ground yours?

Should this fix my problem with the line out wire for my underbody kit?

thier are a ton of options under the back seat. the bottom half of the back seat just pops right up thier is a metal brace that goes all the way across and that will work fine!!!! just make sure you use the salf tapping screws and star washers.

I need something relatively accessible from the hatch area

Also, since you are MECP, how do I tap an RCA, that is my main problem, apparently tapping the front speakers wont work for my underbody. Do i just need to strip the wire a bunch and put it in between the male and female RCA Plug?
