guys, this falls into the amp and sub and just whatever the hell else(im really upset).. for the past couple days ive been hearing noises from the speakers and sub when i put a cd in and etc..... well the sub is also playing vocals for some odd reason.. and i have no idea why.. it sounds horrible.. the sub isnt even as loud as it used to be, and whenever i turn the sub off from the hu, the motherf#cker still plays.. so i have some bad signal crossing somewhere.. ive tried different rca's and remounted my amps.. and i dont know whats going on.. im too fed up to re-wire everything today so im sure if i did that i could fix the problem.. but what do you guys think it could be? yesterday i made a crappy amp rack and mounted them to the back of my box, and earlier today i decided to mount them back in the trunk, and its still doing it.. i dont know whats going on.. im very angry, lol.. :help:

The sub playing vocals has something to do with your crossover being set wrong.
Make sure the sub RCAs are hooked up to the correct RCA outs on your HU. If you're turning down your sub out and it's hooked up to your full range outs, that doesn't help much

On a second thought, if you accidently switched the RCAs from sub outs to full range out, your sub wouldn't be crossed over, causing the sub to play all frequencies.

I say a bad ground and/or your crossover needs set lower.

and x2 on what he said ^, check your rcas and make sure you didnt get them switched up...

id bet good money you got your rcas switched. or your rcas are pluged into the wrong inputs

sounds to me like the head unit may have gotten shorted out and the pre-out stage is shot.
tht happens if an RCA ground touhes metal in the car, which easily happens when you stuff all of the wiring back behind the radio and jam it into the dash.

i have a JBL 600.1 by the way guys.. i have the rca splitters on them so all the rca inputs on the amp are being used.. even after i switched those around it still did it, even without the y splitters.. also it cant be from the hu because i didnt mess with that.. so.. GlassWolf.. that could be it.. i do have all the wires taped together tightly so they wont be everywhere.. but im really hoping it isnt, lol... if it is.. then.. well.. $HIT!!.. i think the 880prs will be in the Saturn soon then

but.. me and a friend are going to re-wire the whole system soon and we will go from there..

welp me and a friend messed around with the stereo some.. tried new rca's to the sub amp.. still did it.. so he pulled his car and backed up to mine and we hooked my rca's up to his Orion 2500D and it played music through his XXX's.. so then we hooked his cd player to my car and my sub worked fine, so we decided its the HU.. now i just have the find the receipt, thank god its under warranty.. im goin to see if the shop i got it from will let me trade in my 670Premier for the 880prs and ill pay the difference

Just had a thought... If you have the cross over on the amp set to 80hz then it would would it matter if the head unit was sending a full signal? I'd be like an older headunit with only one set of preamps (which sends a full signal, right?)

So if you cross the amp over at 80hz it should stop it from playing thing above that, right (or atleast it should start cutting it off from there, depending on the slope?)

I'd still check your ground with a dmm, bad grounds will do some effed up shiat....
