New stereo making poping noise!?! - 9/8/2006 1:01:01 AM    Zuarel   Posts: 1 Joined: 4/23/2006 Status: offline This might have already been answered, but I cant seem to word it right for the search engine, sorry to bother you all again. I Just bought a Kenwood (KDC-MP532U) head unit for my 2000 GT with the mach system. Now every time I turn on or off the car theres like a "pop" sound that comes from the speakers and after that everything works great. The guy at Best Buy told me that its normal for it to happen to the car and it causes no harm, but I wanted to check with people that care more about there cars and know more about stangs in general. Any info would be greatly appreciated. _____________________________ Id rather be lucky than good Post #: 1

I hear if you put a 1k resistor in the remote output from the deck that it will stop? NEver tried it myself... _____________________________ the bald installer thats schoolin best buy one store at at time Please direct all bby employees to: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2395420 (in reply to Zuarel) Post #: 2

You won't hurt anything with the popping it's just annoying as sh!t after awhile. _____________________________ (in reply to ttocs) Post #: 3

Or it might be a ground loop of some sort, in which case you want to try and find a different place to ground it. _____________________________ (in reply to backinblack06) Post #: 4

Newer amps come with some sort of protection turn on feature that will prevent this, but there should be some simple resistor connetion to connect to the remote wire im guessing to prevent it.
