Posted November 2, 200915 yr 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.

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?

I doubt that's the issue though but that's the next thing i'm trying.

November 2, 200915 yr Author 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 noiseTried a different amp and it works just fine. I'll post a video of the issue.
November 2, 200915 yr Author 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttd33sb8z_cI 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.
November 2, 200915 yr Well never heard that sound beforeyeah i would contact Jacob or Db-r wherever you got it..
November 2, 200915 yr Author Well never heard that sound beforeyeah i would contact Jacob or Db-r wherever you got it..Yea i think i'll go ahead and do that. Got it from the SSA store.
November 3, 200915 yr how cow that is ODD send that video to jacob or chris (at db-r) and see what they say or even ssa store for that matter! wow i never seen that beforeand i was going to say a bad grounded but you even switched amps! so wow! interesting Edited November 3, 200915 yr by CrazyKenKid
November 3, 200915 yr Author 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.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAF548VDj20
