Just noticed that if I turn the gain completely down on the amp the buzzing goes away. The more I turn it up the gain the louder it gets, so if I have more powerful speakers this problem may go away, hopefully. | |

The gain on the amp is not turned up very much, so the speakers sound nice for what they are. | |

100RMS into 40RMS is stupidly daft anyway! but im not totally sure if it woild cause buzzing. Thing is if it was previously used on a sub, you would have never picked it up, meaning it could have had the problem from day one.. | |

I hope that you are right and the buzzing goes away when I fit my new components. Anyway I thought it was always better to over power rather than under power speakers. | |

amp is giving too much power to the speakers, so makes the buzzing. Either get some higher rated speakers (like 100rms) or get a smaller amp. | |

Speakers at the mo' are 40w RMS infinity co-axials soon to be replaced by 70w RMS Phoenix Gold Octane R components. Amp is running 2x100wRMS into the infinitys just now. The amp is an Alpine T757 V12 and it was previously used to power my 400wRMS JBL power series sub. | |

If its a new new amp, take it back and swap it | |

Yes the wires are completely seperate. Listening more closely to the buzzing sound it doesn't get louder when I turn up the volume or when I rev the engine so could it be that the RCA leads need beefing up? The ones I have running at the mo' are quite thin and the amp is running 2x100wRMS. Could it be that the signal is too weak from the HU? | |

I have just fitted a new amp to run my components and the speakers buzz at low volumes. I had an amp in before and the new one just replaced it using the same wires. Could it be that its more powerful and needs a thicker power and earth cable(currently 10awg). |
