It probably has to do with how your FM modulator is sending the signal. I've got two cars, one I'm using an FM modulator for my XM radio and one XM is built into the head unit. On my FM modulated signal I have the *exact* same issue as you do. I think it is just a part of the game. The signal...

Great news, can't wait!

This usually happens in car audio more than Home Theater (since car amps *do* lose their power, newer amps have "anti-pooping technology"). It never caused too much of a problem though. This could cause damage over a very long period of time, but I wouldn't be too worried about it. If you...

I did that as we probably visit the same forum! I didn't know if the 600.1 had 1 or 2 inputs, but a good suggestion Sean.

This might not be too helpful but I had an '89 525i that had a similiar setup sound setup to yours (internal amp and 8 speakers). This was before I did all of the work myself but the shop I worked with recommened that I just remove all of the BMW stuff and rewire the entire vehicle for the...

I've got the 1200.1 (big brother of the 600.1) and couldn't be happier with it. I've had it for about 3 years now, hasn't missed a beat. I'm running it at 2 ohms and never had had a heat issue. Moral of the story: They are really nice amps

I don't believe this had anything to do with the final exam schedule. TCU believed they should play on a bigger stage then they were invited to. Now they can play Boise State on ESPN2. (as a side note, I'm a huge College FB fan, and am excited to see what Dinwiddie can do against that D).

I got my MBA rather untraditionally, as I continued straight from undergrad, but I did have some good experience (including working overseas, that helped). First off (this is all my own opinion of course) is that the only reason you would want to get an PhD after an MBA is to teach. The...

Anyone that says the stuff is unneccessary is just plain *wrong*. Disregard anything else those people have told you about car audio. I honestly believe it is the number one improvement you can make in your vehicle. How good does a 3K system sound like if you get constant rattles? No better...

Sean I love the SS. A performance upgrade would be nice, but. to tell you the truth, for my daily driver the bone stock engine is more than enough! As far as the doors go, doing a custom baffle was really easy. I have never done one before but found a template at impalassforum.com and made...

I used Fat Mat off of ebay, did the doors and trunk so far. Unbelievable amount of difference. I think where it helped the most was the back side of the door skins. This prevented the plastic from "rattling" which I've always had a problem with. I need to go the extra step and do it on the...

On the cars where the alternator went, one had a cap, the other didn't. I'm not sold on them. I must say I'm much happier with the 140 amp alternator on my "new" 96 Impala SS. I'm going to upgrade that to the 200 amp version shortly and be done with it.

Thanks, my acronyms were not working right when I posted in the morning. Good thing I'm not in the military.

Dave, Sounds like it is miswired (i.e. positive and negative is switched) I would check that. Might be hard to change inside the door, you could change it at the amp as well.

One of my hobbies are emulation and M.A.M.E. machines, and I've got a new project. I bought one of those bartop cabinets that you see trivia games and whanot in and I'm converting it to a MAME cabinet to give to my nephews for Christmas (they come over to play my fullsize all of the time, but...
