Hey, whenever my amp shuts off I hear that pop noise come from my speakers. What can I do to fix this? Could it be that I am using one remote wire to turn two amps on and off? Also it only makes the noise through my 4 channel amp.

This is actually normal, especially when using lower-end amps. What you need is an off-delay circuit (or "turn-off pop eliminator") like one of these.------------- Support the12volt.com

I had this same thing happening to me as well and it turned out just that the gains on the amps or in my case my Line driver were set to high. Turned them down and POP was gone. Try that first and see if it helps out.

My old cheap amps were doing that, upgrading them to something halfway decent removed the problem. I wish it would have fixed my engine noise on the passanger side too, but still working on that.
