i just installed subs with a LOC, and i have that sudden boom when the radio turns on?

Question

Any way to get rid of this? Just to let you know, for the remote wire i tapped into the fuse for the cigarette lighter. it plays fine, i would just like to get rid of the random BOOM when my car turns on. Also, in everyones opinion, what is the best sound deadening material for its price on the market? I know of dynamat, fatmat, eDead (by ED), and roadkill (by Stinger), but I am not limited to these.

thanks much

Altima, thanks for the information, but i know the RCAs are okay because they were in my old car. in fact, this exact same setup, wire and all, was in my old car, the only difference is now i have the stock radio (hence, the LOC). Im also running the LOC off of speaker wire spliced into the rear speaker leads and ran to the trunk, because there is no wire diagram yet available for my car (2008 Mitsu. Lancer) and i am pretty sure the speakers are amplified. Should i adjust the output on the LOC?

John S, if you read the entire question including details, you would have read that my car is a 2008 Mitsu. Lancer

Answer 1

well for the poping that it does try checking your rca's and for the the dend. try hush mat its cheap and it gives you alot un like dynamat personally it works the same but it cost alot more good luck hope this was of some help to you

Answer 2

Your problem is where you hooked up your "remote" wire. I assume the cig lighter fuse is switched with the key. So when you turn your car to the "on" position your amp also comes on. When you turn on your head unit, which I assume is factory, because the amp is already on you are hearing a turn on "thump" from the head unit. If it's not a factory unit the fix is to simply hook up the amp's turn on (remote) wire to the unit's remote wire.
You never mentioned what make and model of vehicle...visit the12volt.com there is a ton of info there.

Good Luck

Answer 4

The easiest fix would be to just delay the amplifier's switching on for a few seconds, so that it doesn't pick up the pop when the head unit switches on. You can buy a device for this purpose, like this one:http://www.logjamelectronics.com/pieeisps.html . Crutchfield has instructions here for building your own delay circuit: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-S8ZnzrKQ57x/tech/kb327.html

Or you could buy a toggle switch, put it on your amp's remote wire, and just switch the amp on manually after the car is started.
