So, reinstalled everything after getting my car back from the body shop. I started hearing a popping coming from my right tweeter. Unhooked everything to isolate the problem and no matter which RCAs i put in (fronts in the front, rears in the rears, rears in the front, front in the rears) I heard that popping (went with my engine revs)

bad RCAs? bad amp? lots of pinched wires?

I have a road trip to St louis tommorrow afternoon and a trip to chicago sunday. It would suck if I couldnt listen to anything on those trips.[/i]

 

popping when you turn on the car, or popping when you play music?

could be a blown speaker/tweeter

 

it pops even if i don't play music...

kinda like engine whine but....popping, static kinda

 

do your rca's cross or run with the power line?

 

no - i thought about that though....

im expecting the worst because that was the second time i got my car back from the body shop (they screwed up the first time) and they moved my power and ground wires and re-ran them

Im going to have my installer look at it tomorrow. Ill be ____ed if something is wrong on a large scale - all blown speakers, etc.

 

and getting them to pay for that will be incredibally hard

 

impossible....

 

depends on what kind of popping noise....it can quite possibly be ur hu

 

good luck finding it!!!!

 

thanks...unfortunately i was not able to get it checked out before i leave on my trips....so that means, a quiet hour and a half to st louis, then a quiet 4 hours to chicago...

i guess it could be either the hu, the amp, or something with the power and ground (which would be the fault of the body shop...without proof though...)
