Well, everytime i have my system on and the music isnt playing, i hear a tap. Kind of like someone is knocking on the rear of my car or something of the sort. At first i thought someone was just playing a trick on me, so i got out of my car and looked around..no one in sight. So i turned the system back on from the emergency shut off switch, and started to drive. During the songs i can hear it, so i turned the music off. It's still doing it!

It sounds just like someone knocking/tapping on the rear glass. I already re-did the wiring. Nothing is loose that i know of.

Any ideas?
 
can't you just leave the system on and move around your car (inside and out) to find out where the sound is coming from? :shrug: then you would know what you have to fix or maybe it's coming from your speakers...?

Tomorrow when i get out of work, i will probably start unhooking them to see if one or both of them is doing it.

Was just wondering if anyone else has/had this problem.

and i know its coming from my subs. But the question is why.
 
My subs in another car I had were cutting in and out because it was only getting intermittant ground connection. I have heard of that with the power wire too. Check to make sure the ground/power cables are good and tight and have good connection.
 
the wires are all nice and tight. If i tighten them anymore, something is going to break haha.

I have the ground wire hooked up to the metal bar running behind the rear seats. Maybe its not getting enough there? Its strange that it just started happening though.
