Default vibrating subs

hey guys. ive had my subs for a while but ive had a problem with the subs vibrating like crazy anytime i change the cd in the stock 6 cd player deck in the 01 accord. it seems like the subs are just going crazy for a second when either the cd is being changed, the radio is turned off, or even when i open the trunk and nothing is playing. u guys know why i get these crazy vibrations from my subs. is that a grounding problem or something. by the way i had the subs installed at a best buy near here. thanks

i just saw something similar on another thread here and it seems like maybe its a problem with the ground? bu where are the grounding wires located in the car. are they right under the hood?

typically within 3 feet of the amp you'll find the end of the ground wire. Okay, always.

hey, what you seem to be referring to is commonly known as "motorboating". i had the same problem in my 03 accord awhile back and it was solved by regrounding the amps. check your amp grounds, more specifically the sub amp if the thumping is coming only from the subs. if the thumping continues post back
