I’m splitting the front channels before going into the amp and don’t think this has anything to do with an intermittent issue I’m having but haven’t found anything else.
When testing and trying to dial in amps, I’ve had the front left speaker/tweeter stop playing music.
Some type of small sound comes out of it, 2 notes at a time. Babump, babump. Sound comes on without the radio on when it’s happening.
To get it to stop I have to unplug the PAC wiring harness and plug the factory wiring harness back into the head unit. Sound starts coming back out of the right front speaker.
Then I can plug the pac wiring harness back into the radio and speakers.
I’m using the pac and it’s 17 extension wiring to run the signal back to a Key 200.4 and 500.1. I split the front speaker channels with a y connector.
I thought maybe it was the 200.4 amp going into some type of protection mode, but the other 3 speakers play. I initially thought it was the speaker but sound stops out of the speaker and tweeter on the right.
Again the problem doesn’t seem to go away until I power off, hook speaker wiring back up directly to the head unit. Then turn it off and reconnect the signal back to the amps. I’m checking the wiring but pretty simple run. Has anybody else ran into this?
Front speaker are the kicker 670’s. I’ve tried with the woofer and tweeter though the cross over each just off the factory wiring.
Update: Definitely think this is something with the head unit as hooking up the subwoofer and using the balance to go all around the speakers, when on the front right which is one channel feeding the 500.1. The sound starts coming out it, it’s a babump - babump and not sound from what’s playing. You fade to the right front, then bass starts coming out correctly and the babump sound stops. Not sure I would have caught it if I weren’t playing with the balance and listening to each speaker.
I’ll update if I figure it out, maybe it’s something with the tweeters, but that’s on the output, not the input. It’s almost like splitting the signal is causing something. However, it just affects the drivers side and not the passenger side front speaker. Doesn’t happen on the rears.
