Okay the weird sub problem in someone else's car doesn't bother me... the weird stereo problem in MY car? Not acceptable. Here's the problem:
Gone away for 3 weeks, left sub & amp in g/f's car (connected). Sub & Amp works fine in her car, no worries.
She returned sub and amp yesterday (after much pleading with me to keep it) and I reinstalled it.
Here's what's weird: Radio works, but if the volume exceeds 15, the sub and speakers start making noise... like I was listening to the hardest house music imaginable... the bass just goes nuts. If I disconnect the sub, and set the deck to play just on the speakers, the sound comes up at about volume 20.
Weirdest part: This doesn't happen when listening to a CD.
Other weird things: Whenever I turn off my car, I always turn the sound down to 00... when I turn on the car and turn the music up, the sub makes a little "thud"... this happens when I go from 00 to 01 in volume, then it's fine. Also, when I have the volume really low, sometimes the sub makes a little chatter... barely noticeable, but I'm listening for problems that weren't there before. Aside from that everything SEEMS to be okay... but who knows. Anyone have any idea what this could be related to? None of the settings on the amp were changed while I was away, and to my knowledge my car was only driven to Oil Changers to get it's... oil changed :o and emissions test done. I cannot drive without my stereo... I need it. Someone help.
