Everything was working fine last night. This morning i turn on the car and i can hear static coming from the woofer. I figured it was the subwoofer coil rubbing or something. Well i try 2 other subwoofers and i get the same result.

Everything seems to work fine except there's static that kind of sounds like rubbing styrofoam together. I tried everything to rule out other components and still the same result. Strangely enough the amp works fine apart from that. So i have no clue what to do now. Do i just send it in to get repaired or what? I never thought i'd have any problems with it.

Any help would be appreciated.

could be a signal issue...try swapping RCA's...or switch the output from your HU...and did you try gaining down a little to see if it goes away?

you could try switching out with another amp

I tried everything except switching amps. I doubt that's the issue though but that's the next thing i'm trying.

i no when i was installing my equipment a couple times when my car was started and my 3000D was all installed and powered up i would connect the speaker wire into the outlet and it would make a static noise

Tried a different amp and it works just fine. I'll post a video of the issue.

Ok so i made a quick video to get a better idea of the "static" problem. This was after trying a different amp, which worked just fine.

I guess there's only one thing i can do. Send it back to get fixed. Used a multimeter to check impedance and it wasn't as bad while i had it on but still there.

Well never heard that sound before

yeah i would contact Jacob or Db-r wherever you got it..

Found something interesting. Looks like this little guy is cracked/busted. Doesn't seem normal since it's the only one that looks this way. Wonder is this is the reason for this weird issue. Besides the noise everything works the same.

It needs repaired that appears to be a burnt zener diode.

That could easily be your problem - send it in to me w/ your purchase invoice.
