Only heard it pop on turn on. My system turns off 5 minutes after the vehicle is locked.

How would i wire it up? 12v, GND, remote in and remote out?

Thanks for the reply! That item is not available in my country, i assume this would do the same below? Also which diagram would i follow to wire it up? See in pictures of the item. Would i place this in between the remote out of my DSP and remote in of my amplifier...

All my speakers used to do this as of recent. Along with other issues i put this down to a faulty DSP. I changed my DSP and there is no whining with engine rpm and my speakers no longer pop when turned on or off, accept the subs. I have a Helix DSP.3 using high level inputs and the remote out...

As title. Once i get to about 4/5 max volume my JL HD600/4 amp goes into protection mode on 2 channels, powering my mids. The other 2 channels powering my woofers is fine. I have set the gains so there is no clipping at all even at max volume and it has only just started happening recently. My...

My headunit outputs a low level balanced signal but it is over 2 wires not 3 (there is no ground reference) but my DSP cannot accept a balanced signal. I’ve looked at converters online but the inputs all seem to be XLR connectors, which are 3 wire. How would i go about this??

Headunit is standard BMW idrive and amps are a JL Audio HD600/4 and a Ground Zero GZNA 1.2500DXII I’ve connected my headunit straight to the amps and i have no issues. Only thing is my headunit outputs a balanced signal. Do you know if the DSP accepts balanced RCA inputs?

When your engine is running your alternator is charging the battery meaning you have around 14.4 volts. When your engine is turned off you are just using the power stored in your battery which is around 12.6 volts. While it’s not the same amp i have a JL HD600/4 and it’s very good, small...

Thanks for the advice but i think its cooked. Tried different headunit output voltages from 1-3 volts by adjusting the HU volume and tried different DSP volumes but anything higher than 35/66 and you can clearly hear the buzz, no matter what the HU voltage is. Also when muting seperate channels...

I have a Dayton Audio 408 processor and i have been having problems with noise and gain adjustment. When setting my gains using 0db sine waves my headunit outputs 3.7 volts at 3/4 volume and connects to my processor input. With my processor at full volume (66/66) it outputs 3.4 volts with...

I have a static high pitched buzz when my cars engine is on. My headunit, DSP and both amplifiers all ground straight to the battery (located in the trunk). When i unplug ONE of the RCA’s going into my DSP’s input the buzz stops. But when both RCA’s are connected the buzz is there, when both...

Just checked my DSP settings and the main volume was set at max so maybe it was sending a clipped signal to my amps when recieving a high voltage signal from my headunit. Will redo my gains and hopefully see an improvement. 

What do they sound like when bottoming out? My amp is a Ground Zero GZNA 12500DXII and i’m using my oem headunit but with a Dayton Audio DSP as a line output converter.

I have the subs wired to 1 ohm, at that impedance my amp puts out 2300wrms if i remember correctly. I have set the gains for 1000wrms with a little bit of headroom. Once i get near full volume i can hear them start to distort. Hence why i am looking for subs with a higher power handling.

So you have a remote gain adjustment for your amp? It could be faulty.
