Folks,

I just installed a 5 channel Alpine amp in my girlfriend's 96 Civic and it works really great. But there is one problem, when she steps on the brakes, she hears a popping noise in the speakers. I am assuming it has to do something with the amp ground and the brake lights, but how do I get rid of it? I tried moving the ground connection from the amp to different spots but it didn't change anything. Is there a preferred grounding spot in the trunk of a 96 civic?

Any ideas???

thanks,

-greg

get a 16v 0.47 mfd capacitor and put it across the output side of brake and ground. That was GM's fix for the brake pops.

what he means is take the output wire in the driver side kick panel and cut it once than use connectors to add one side of the two wire capasitor and connect it to each side of the wire tape up with electrical tape and you should be ok . the cap should absorb the pop but if not diodes may help i dont know never had that problem with that car or amps.

Are the RCA's run on the opposite side of the car as the power wire/battery/brakes? It should be.
