I recently started to hear a hissing sound from my front speakers. The funny thing is that they never made that sound before, so i know that they are not blown. Even with the volume turnned all the way down, I still her it, then all of a sudden it stops and I hear music. I'm thinking that my amp is finally letting go, wht do you guys think?

 

im guessing the rca or power wires for your amp are near each other giving you engine noise... this is a simple problem..i think theres other posts about this sumplace.

 

what kind of system do you have

 

I have a soundstream 305S connected to a set of kicker componets ( 02K5.2's) in the front and a pair of kickers in the rear (02K65's), I also have a audiobahn AW1051t as my sub. I am planning on replacing the sub soon.

 

make sure you didn't run the power cable to the trunk on the same side as you RCA cables. That will cause interference like john said.

 

That is not the problem. The speakers wored fine all of last fall. The nosie just started recently. The odd thing is that when it stops the I hear music/sound. When it is hissing, that is all I hear. I'm thinking that the channel on my amp is finally dying....

 

If you think its a specific channel, switch the RCA's from the known good channels to the channels in question. If the hiss stays, its probably your amp. IF itgoes away, try new RCAs. You can also try switching RCA outs on the HU. I had some go bad before.

Good luck

for sum reason im thinking you had a ghetto install on the amp.. mite what to check for loose wires..
