I installed a new Aerial Airborne Tower on my 05 Tahoe Q5 last week along with a set of twin speaker cans with Polk db speakers. I also replaced the 2 speakers inside the boat with the same Polk speakers. I have installed a JBL 4 channel marine amp as well. I have each set of tower speakers wired for 2 ohms to the rear channels of the amp and the 2 inside speakers wired to the front channel, 4 ohms each of course. The amp is wired directly to the battery with 8 gauge cable and the remote turn-on comes directly from the head unit. Since my cheapo factory headunit only has one set of pre-outs, I have Y cables at the amp to split that into 4 channels.
With that all said, the system sounds great with my XM radio or iPod. However, I am getting some popping when I operate my trim buttons and I get loud pops when I shut off the master power switch, which of course turns off the radio. What can be done to eliminate these pops?
With it being close to the end of my boating season, I don't want to spend a bunch of money right now only to stick the boat in storage for 6 months. If big modifications are required, they will have to wait until next spring. If it's not too expensive, I would like to get it done now so the boat is ready to go next year.
