I have a Scion tC, I wired everything up to the crossover and to the amplifier, now I do not have these connected to my headunit because I still haven't gotten that from Fedex, but this is my situation.

When powering on the amplifier that is connected to the PG RSD components, I can hear a "thump" sound from the driver side components and not the passanger side, this happens when I turn the ignition key to [ON] and the amps power on, now another thing, I'm not sure why this is happening, but my sub is connected to my stock HU, when playing music on the stock rears , the sub hits hard and I notice the driver side components making a "thumping" sound and it sort of happens when the sub is hitting harder.

I do not have these connected to the sub amp, which makes me go . Should I wait until I get my head unit in and connected with the speakers before I jump back inside the car and start tearing ____ apart ? It's only the driver side that does this, the passanger is fine. Help please.

Thanks

 

Here is a video of what is happening, http://www.joejimenez.com/tccomp.wmv

 

recheck your wiring. seems like you're sending a low pass signal to your tweets. are your tweets connected to the crossover units?

 

Yes, the tweeter is connected to the crossover > amplifier. I have the built-in crossover in the amp disabled....

 

sorry dude, can't really say much since I'm not there and can't visually see whats going on. All I can say is recheck where you wired everything and recheck the amplifier settings.

 

It's cool, I'm going to recheck the grounds, someone suggested that to me. Did u check the video? Please check the video, I spent a good amount of time recording the situation and compressing it down from 30MB to 3MB

 

Yup, I did check out the vid. Thats why i said "seems like you're sending a low pass signal to your tweets." because the sound coming from the tweets was the same as the bass from the background.

 

After taking the driver side panel off, and taking the speaker out, I found something really odd.

I turned the car on, took the speaker baffle off, and the tweeter and the speaker didn't make that noise...

Now when the magnet of the speaker contacted the metal door, the tweeter started making that weird noise again. What does that mean?

 

my driver side speaker started make this sound from last week. It's not loud as urs but it's still noticeable. I still have oem speaker with aftermarket sub and amp. It never happened for 6months since i installed my system.

 

Oh fudge, I hope this crap isn't defective. Imma be ____ED

 

i have no idea what's wrong with mine, i just thought maybe it's time to upgrade my speakers...

 

For anyone else having this problem, my solution was bad amp. One of the channels on my 2 channel amp was bad, which is why it only happened on the driver side and not the passanger, i switched the passenger to the driver and the driver side was fine and the passanger side started acting up. I switched amps and all is well, I wasn't expecting to switch amps, now instead of 100+rms per channel, it's going to be 180+rms per channel with the new amp .

Thanks!

 

glad you were able to figure it out.
