and idea WTF that is? its driving me nuts and I cannot figure it out

[CAMAROWIDBASS]

hmmm

i dont think its the speakers depth, what type of amp is it?

Hae you tried hooking up another amp to it and seeing what it does?

does it only do it with the car on or with the car off or what?

[andrew.brandon]

the amp in a kenwood 250W model KAC-529S. and I am kinda afraid to hook up the speakers to my 760W amp lol

it makes that sound when the car is on and off.

[CAMAROWIDBASS]

according to the specs i pulled its a 2 channel amp, do both the speakers make the same noise at the same time? Have you tried pulling them out of their location and just put them laying down on the seat and see if they still make the noise?

BTW arent you underpowering the speakers? its 40x2 @ 4 ohms and kenwood rates their amps at 14.4 so your getting less than 40x2.

[andrew.brandon]

ok I tried that. pulled both out at they still make the sound. even put it to my pioneer and it makes the sound. although the one ont he right would make it before the one on the left would. that leaves the wires or the speakers themselves.

Still sounds like two wires touching. But you said it only happens on bass intensive songs. Hook up another pair of speaker to those exact connections. Don't run new wire just yet or anything. Just unplug and plug in set B. Also, you still have the headunit in the mix. Highly unlikely, but not out of the question.

EDIT: And I think you're still using the stock headunit, correct? That brings in a LOC I assume.


And is that a sea bag I see stuffed under your hatch? You in the military?

Check the speaker wires, run your own instead of using the wimpy factory speaker wire.

Another thing you could try is to completely remove the speakers from your car and hook them up temporarily to boombox or a home stereo. (caution: keep the volume low if hooking up to a big house stereo). Do this and see if the speakers still make all those crazy noises. If not, you know the speakers are good.

I would then check the speaker wires inside the car, avoid using the factory wire if you can, just run all new speaker wire from the amp to the speakers. If that still doesn't help, there could be an internal problem inside either the Kenwood amp or your head unit.

when I first hooked it up I had 2 of the factory wires I tapped touching but I fixed that. but that was a little diffrent sounding though. and yes I am still using the stock headunit. to get the RCA outlets I used this blue box thing.

I used 16 gage wire from the amp to the speakers.

and yes I am in the national guard. I am a spotter for artillery.

Okay I thought you were using an aftermarket head unit. Where exactly did you splice into the cars factory wiring when you wired up the High-to-Low level adaptor (blue box thing)? If you have the Monsoon System, tap the blue box into the speaker wires BEFORE the factory Monsoon Amp. Behind the factory head unit would be your best bet. On the wiring harness behind the factory headunit, use these wires:

Light Blue = Right Rear (-)
Dark Blue = Right Rear (+)

Yellow = Left Rear (-)
Brown = Left Rear (+)
*NOTE: On the harness, there will be two yellow and two brown wires. The Yellow and Brown wires you need for the Left Rear speaker will be located directly next to eachother on the plug; Pin 19 and 20 on the plug.

well even though I have the 10 speaker system its not the monsoon(some kind of entertainment package) so will that effect the color of the wires? the wires I tapped were the one's for the midranges I replaced. for my 12's I tapped the wires for the rear pannels and havent had a problem in the year or so i've had them.

Sounds good it goes to the beat. =)

btw what song is that

[Big Tymer]

i had that exact problem when i put a 3.3 ohm load on a 8 ohm stable amp..... So the ohm load could be too low for your amp... just my 2 cents...
