When ever I turn down my volume on my deck really low or to zero my I can hear this annoying fuzzy cracking sound coming from my speakers.
Only way I can fix this is to turn down my input level on my amps, but when I do this it lacks power and it's not loud....

And also on my amp that powers my sub, The clip light on the amp flashes when the bass hits hard.
Is this bad?

 

gd forum virus: input is too high

 

check your connections? ground?

 

dito. inputs set to high... clipping the signals is bad... it may sound loud but your subs are gonna blow eventualy at that level. BEEN THERE BLOWN THAT UP. learned my leason to just buy beter equipment

 

But the only speaker that is crackling whne the volume is off is the front driver 6.5".
I got 2 amps, a mono for my sub and a 4 channel for my speakers.

 

then turn down the 4way, or adjust your lhf on your headunit.

 

The cracking, fuzzy sound only comes on when my car is on......If I just have the system on without the car started it's fine. And also when i step on the gas it changes the sound of the cracking.
I lowered my amp input so low it sucks, not even a quarter way. Speakers are not loud enough.....

 

then check your grounds on that amplifier.... and check your factory ground wires. they should be upgrade as well if you got a stereo.
