are they just thumping like thump/thump/thump/ or do they thump when you turn it off or on? is it like a pulse sounding sound like the sound of a pulse?

you might be right about the signal for the speakers. or your RCA cables are too close to you power wires causing "noise" in the sub. check your ground also.


Mr. Modify, what does it mean if it thumps when you turn it off??? i have that problem.

My friend had the same problem too. His had a problem with the signal cables so u might want to check those out. Other than that you might have some cheap stuff on your ride.

subs are supposed to thump, that is why you buy them.
