Static on speakers

Post by shaheen »

So today I decided I had enough of the TIDEQ and fixed it properly into the car, no more moving about and stuff, however I always had an issue with one side and it having supression when I hit a bump , so checked cables grounded properly and it seems to be gone. However I have a new problem I have static on the speakers when I hit a bump , could it be the TIDEQ is now grounding itself on the chassis of the car and creating a noise when I hit bumps.

Any other ideas are welcome.

swap the rca's and see if it switches sides just to confirm its not a cable feeding the signal in.
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.

often the tuning pots will get dirty. They are self cleaning and if you just swipe them back and forth a half dozen times it will clean them off. Take note of its approx location so you can return it to that location but worth a try.

Also try and make sure the RCA's from the HU are snug.
