I have never had that problem with any of my Kenwoods. I don't have any ideas of what it could be.

 

Are you sure that all the wires are hooked up correctly? Also, is it the speakers that are popping? If so, the internal amp might be blown.

The popping noise comes through the speakers. Though my speakers are fine.

Sounds like something is shorting to ground...check your wires.

JR

 

I appreciate your input!!!!!!!!!
Wouldn't this happen to my other stereo that I tried to install??

Joe

 

When you installed this, you might have pulled a wire loose or something...

JR

 

Thanks man...

 

N problem...if that's not it, the amp might be blown. If it has a warranty, take it back and get another, just for good measure!

JR

 

Does it happen only when you turn on your car?


I re-read the post, yeah I am willing to bet that your MOSFET amp is blown, though I'm trying to think. If the speakers try to reproduce sound that they arnt supposed to, ie. really low or really high, then your internal amp is blow I would say.

The only time it doesn't pop is when I first turn it on. It does give crackling noise when I turn it up to a certain level. I reinstalled a previous receiver and everything is fine.

Thanks

Yeah its the internal amp, the crackling noise is from having not enough power.

Guess the only thing its good for now is a paperweight??
