System problems .
Ok here we go ... I have a 92 sedan Pioneers in the doors , Jl audios in the rear deck . for those speakers I have a alpine V12 or an Old HK amp " only reason I posted both is because I removed the alpine to see if that was the problem " I have a Jl Audio W7 12" , and an old tagra amp powering that up 600w . I have a pioneer 7500 headunit rear , front , sub outputs . I have all 3 RCA jack sets running on the pass side of the car . The main power wire and remote wire through the drivers side . both amps have there own ground spot . They where both hooked up to the same spot but I gave them there owen thinking it would help . Now I have 3 problems One is that when I power up the system the speakers pop on and off for about 15-20 secs . Other I get that rpm sound on the speakers , and I also have a problem that the targa amp if I set the main level up to almost all the the way the subs jumps up and down . and also if I do it to the bass level on the amp it will do the same . Please help ! all wires are brand new everything seems to be hooked up right . Ohh yeah and everytime I hit the ATT button or change the stations on the radio it makes the speakers jump up and down "pop" "pop" . Sub is new , radio is new , speakers are new and alpine is new . Thanks guys !

first things first, try using one amp at a time, see if one is worse than the other. Do you have a distribution block or are you running both amps off one wire or what? Also what gauge wire are you running?

im no expert but it seems like a grounding problem to me. they all need to be grounded in the same place with the shortest thickest wire possible. what are they grounded to? what kind of rca's do you have? check your alternator and battery grounds, make sure they're all clean and tight. just throwing out ideas, hope you work it out.

i had a similar problem. your wiring is probably fine to the amp. CHECK THE HEADUNIT WIRING. Sometimes things get loose especially when you install all new wiring. that popping sound is kind of like a spike (sort of like when you pull a ground wire off of the chasis and then touch it again).
