Ok i bought a new panasonic cq-vw100u double din, so i wired my 1998 olds delta 88 up i hooked up my amp which is a ma audio 1800 and the l5's i turn the music own i get an hard contunious popping sound. so i figured it was something with the rca spliter comming from the unit so i changed that it contuined, then i change the rca's still the same problem tried to change the ground spot still same problem. So i borrowed my friends Cadence 2300 and Hifonics zeus 600.2 still the same problem . Both l5's are two ohms i haded them both droped to 1 ohm so i could push a .5 load, i also tried them at 2 and still the same thing.I'm stuck and i could realy use some help

thanks mike

Turn the gain all the way down, then set it properly. Read and follow the "How to set your gains" sticky post.
