Hey guys, just had and Alpine CDA-105 deck, alpine amp and 2 10" energy subs installed in my 06 Mustang GT. I love the setup but everytime I turn the stereo on it makes this horrible popping sound in the front subs? The factory speakers also sound terrible now. Any suggestions on fixing this issue? I'll be taking it back to the installer but I wanted to be armed with knowledge before I go so I don't get bullshitted. Thanks for the help in advance,

 

Just an initial pop as the car is turned on? If so, that's the amp powering on. Relatively normal, at least I think so. Maybe bad wiring there somewhere?

I had similar problem my mustang. There was some kinda issue running the factory amp with the aftermarket stereo. I didnt even bother lokoing into it to be honest, I just decided to run the front 8's off an aftermarket amp (I wanted them crossed over at different frequencies anyways). I'd love to hear the solution cause I may someday go back to a simpler system.

 

thats just the amp turning on.

From what I remember you will need a resistor on the factory amp turn on. You are sending a 12volt turn on voltage down a 5volt turn on line. Going from memory, I am not in my shop with access to any notes.

 

I bypass the whole issue, literally, and rewire the car to bypass the factory amps. It always sounds better.

 

This seems to be the issue, it really doesn't affect anything accept it makes that horrible "pop" sound when I initially power on the unit. I think I may just leave it. Also, after a little tuning with the bass, treble etc the factory speakers sound much better now, I'm quite happy with the whole setup. Thanks for the help guys.

 

i got a 96 and trust me, rip all the your premium system out
it way to much of a headache

i strip out the match 460 system and install everything after market!

 

haha factory high end systems are always a pain in tha bum hole!!!
