Sub makes loud feedback type noise after 30seconds
Hey Folks, had an issue on the way to work, thats been bothering me, but I can't go out and look at it cause i'm stuck at work.
On my way to work, I was listening to music when all of a sudden (about a minute in) the sub started making a loud buzzing noise (almost) like feedback when you only partially connect up a subwoofer in a home stereo to the receiver. When i shut the vehicle off, and start it again, the sub will play for around 30 seconds again (only tried low volume), however, simply turning the headunit off and on, does not resolve do the same. Any suggestions as to what I should be checking? It's fairly cold out, so the less time messing around I need to do the better. Not having music sucks! |
i think you need a recone

For the record - I don't like your answer. Not cause it's not accurate or anything, just don't like how it sounds money wise :(
I finally got home, and checked a few minor minor things, here's what else i found. I checked the cables and they seemed ok, no bad lights on the amp or anything powering up fine. I disconnected the RCA's and it would sorta make some intermittent popping noises followed by the eventual loud feedback type noise. still no red lights on amp to say it's in protect or anything crazy. Is your diagnosis still the same? Anyone else agree/disagree? For those that agree, what info (price/where/how/who) can you give me on getting a recone of this sub. Note, it's ummm a 2004 or 2005 version, before they went to that newer crazy expensive style (not that mine was cheap). |
Try to remove wires that aren't important. Have you test the speakers already? Change it. Maybe the subs needs to be fixed.
Try to look for compatible amps and stereos. ___________________________ CAUTION: Blind Man Driving! BMW Parts l Weatherstrip |

Sounds to me like amp power supply is gone. Any smoke yet?

Turns out it was the amplifier that was the problem. I can't remember what was said to be wrong with it, but yeah, thought i'd post it in case any one was curious or keeping score with their troubleshooting.

ya sometimes it is input transistors that do that and pass it thru the amp to the output.A big cause of this is too much voltage for a gain setting.So say if the amp takes 8volts and your HU gives 8 and the gain was at say half looking for 4 volts max and you turn the volume up alot it puts huge stress on the inputs
