I'm using the relay to power up the three amplifiers...I don't think it's going to help the situation. I'll talk to Jim in the morning.

Yes please, I think every thing started with I switch to the new PowerBass amp.

I should try to put the old amp and see if the pop still there.

Thanks

D,

Call Jim tomorrow. He'll be available to help troubleshoot and talk about the I6SW.

To my surprise after starting my Yaris, and turning the HU on, the pop was gone, but a new terrible noise made presence, I'm going to switch back to one of my old amps and see what happens.

I spoke with him, the I6SW will arrive some day,

I asked him about the noise issue, he asked me to unplug a speaker at a time and see if I could find some thing, like if after disconnecting a speaker the noise would go away! but after that didn't have a clue.

Determining noise/pop issues is really difficult from 3000 miles away honestly. It's something you want to be able to see up close to draw a determination.

I believe I was actually standing not 5 feet away from your phone conversation.

Throw up a picture of the ground on the amplifier. What was the outcome on the amp switch?

Ok, I unplugged every speaker one by one, and every RCA cable...
the last one was the sub-woofer RCA from HU (noise went away!), so I moved the cable around and noise goes up and down.
if I disconnect it from the amp. the noise goes away.
Still the Pop off is there )o: and when I move the mirrors too.
I'm going to change the RCA cable for the sub, and keep trying.


any suggestions for speaker wire and where to buy?

Thanks
D.

Arer you asking about speaker wire or RCA cables, or both? And what kind of wire are you running now?

More like speaker wire for Mids, Tweets and Midbass.

I can't remember what I have now, they are green thick cables. (shielded I believe, but old).

The actual cables I believe are 12' long. (too long!) My amp sits behind my seat and connectors are near the pilots side on the left. I'm guessing a 6' long would do it.

I got a really good deal on shielded 16g monster cable on ebay...Probably not my 1st choice, 11 bucks for a 100ft roll was hard to pass up, ya know. I would run 14/12 guage of any quality mfg wire to speakers, and shielded of course. Monster isn't bad stuff for car audio, and for my power requirements 16 is OK. And tweeters,12 guage would be pushing it,lol might be a bit hard to solder on....good shielding is key.

I might be able to throw a 6' RCA run into the packaging with the I6SW if you want.

Thanks,
lets see how it goes, I have 2 more cables that I'm going to try. I really want a pair of flush MDF rings for my Mids, rather have you check them out.

Pictures of the cables I'm using! and when I disconnect them from the sub-woofer output from the HU to the amp the noise goes away. "Stinger" VENOM Double Shielded OFC!








The Pop on / off still there but very little.

Driving with out the sub-woofer (RCA cable disconnected) it's pure music, no noise at all!

Look closely at the RCA run. Is there a break or a pinch somewhere in the line? I'm about to go CAT 5 on my setup...I could probably give you a run of my current HPM3 Stingers. There a little better than the ones you're using now. :D

^You also now know generally what is going on after reading my FB status! I'll keep you up to date about the conversion of the P-01 to a digital out. A friend of mine has some working plans. I'm sending the deck to him in a couple weeks after he finishes some other projects up.

Think about the advantages in S/N ratio and the Mbps advantage of an all digital source.

Sqcomp you are smoking!

It's hard to believe there is more after a P-99, at least for me.

I've been driving without a subwoofer (500 miles) I moved the freq. of the MidBass from 63Hz to 40Hz and at low volume sounds good. I have a good feeling that the I6SW will compliment for great SQ system!

I'm sayin'! I'm trying to take things to the next level as it were.

We're working the ability to retain the DSP ability of the deck through the cat5e connection.

Accuracy! That's what it's all about.

I'm in a holding pattern until the new Voce Amps come out. I'm stressed quite honestly...I need to have this done by august. The new L8SE's in , the bit one installed and programed, the new amps in, the trunk finished off, the sub enclosure done, the photobook made, my passcard received...all in this time frame.

Gotta be in the Canadian IASCA finals in Calgary.

I have CES and SBN to go to next year too. Wanna come with me D?
