Hey everyone. Just finished upgrading to 6.5” speakers in dash and soundbar and new sub using 5 channel amp. I have sport s with 7”.
Connected PAC audio adapter, reset it, verified firmware was updated, and turned stereo on. At 0 volume on radio, there is a static noise.
to debug, I checked with no rca’s connected to amp (no hiss/static , therefore power/ground is good), connected rca’s to amp (no static, therefore rca wires are good). Plugged rcas into PAC and noise came back.
i went into pac settings disabled EQ, turned min volume to -20, and turned my amp gains down and static still exist.
I’m not sure what else can be done to the PAC?
One problem I have is with gains set properly on amp using multimeter, if the pac min volume is set to 0, when turning the radio to volume 1-5, it is already audible enough to not be quiet at all. I have to turn the min volume to -20 so that radio volume 1-5 sounds like old factory setup which in turn lowers the rms gain setting I was after and keeps my amp from being able to output the proper wattage.
On a positive note at 20 watts below rms, my 6.5” alpine type r’s are loud as $&*^!!!
Do you guys have static too?
What min volume do you use?
What else can I do?
Sorry for long post but wanted to describe what I’ve already done to be efficient with answers.
