i just hooked my subs and amp up and when i turned it on the subs will pulse like a heart beat what do i have hooked up wrong? I believe i tried unhooking the rca and the pulsing stopped. What would cause this

Thanks,
Stuart

EDIT: I know lots of oyu think i have no idea what im doing and i may not but i would rather do it myself and learn then have someone else do it for me

 

Or, you can have someone that knows what they are doing TEACH you as they are helping you with it.

 

but the only place around here is down south customs and last time i want there they just made fun of me and said my speakers suck and my car is a joke so yea noone to help thats why im posting here

 

How far are you from Tampa/Gainesville?

 

Wow... now that's the kind of shop that gets my business... NOT! I've never subscribed to the theory that the customer is always right (I've had some real bonehead customers in the past, and most likely a lot more in the future), but to treat them like a middle schooler is just downright unprofessional and immature.

 

Nilesh, hes an hour and a half from me/gainesville. We all know he shoulda come up here, but you win some you lose some

As Ive stated in other threads, we all can't keep up with the many ridiculous threads you have made, so please let us know what all equipment you are running so we can better troubleshoot...because it sounds like an equipment problem.

 

No its cool i dont want to waste yalls time with stupid questions I am really sorry about all of this i just like learnign by myself and if i had questions maby ask my fellow maxima owners

HU pioneer
Amp- Sony 1000W XM 16522
SUBS-2 12' Audiobahn subs

 

Problem is with the amp most likely.

 

actually sounds like either a power problem..the amp is starved for it and its not receiving it properly or a bad signal. Try different RCAs, and try using a different set of channels from the HU. Then meter all your power leads including remote turn on.

 

Leave the inputs disconnected from the HU. Instead, hook up an iPod or CD player to the inputs, something that's running from it's own internal batteries. Then come back and tell us if the amp works properly like that or if it still makes the pulsing sound.
