loud pop/bang noise
i refitted the original clarion tape back into the car, because the amp and cd player didnt get along.
But now every so often there is a crack noise, like someone is tapping a microphone. I turned down the bass and treble and its gone away.
Any idea what caused it.

Re: loud pop/bang noise
I had it once or twice when I first got the car & other, more experienced owners, suggested they 'do that' from time to time.
The dogmobile appears to have 'unlearned' this unseemly conduct, therefore I recommend the following:
1). Avoid listening to Radio 1
2). Avoid music for manic depressives, (Country & Western)
3). Never ever play any rap, hip-hop or R&B.
4). Don't let it get wet
5). Don't turn it on after midnight
Mines been perfect for 2 years now.

Re: loud pop/bang noise
I think someone (Supa?) sussed this one out a long time ago, something to do with dry solder joints on the output transistors?

So many things it could be mate.
Whereabouts are you as more than happy to test the system and find out exactly what it is.

Re: loud pop/bang noise
the wires that had the hi lo converters are just held in with terminal blocks perhaps solder is better, and the amp isnt in the bracket right.
Where are the output transistors.

Re: loud pop/bang noise
I found it was a loose connection on the plug going into the head unit. Mine hasn't done it since I last dismantled the dash touch wood!

Yes it's loose at the back a lollypop stick holding it in so I checked for dry solder and used some superglue it's all tight now just waiting for it to dry before testingteamster1975 wrote:I found it was a loose connection on the plug going into the head unit.

Re: loud pop/bang noise
i put the radio back in after the glue dried and it does not function.
But now i remember it there is a fuse at the back i forgot to reconnect, i took it out so it wouldnt be glued in for all eternety.
