OEM LX450 stereo turn on and off pop please help (1 Viewer)

[40thSagePearl]

Hey guys I have a 96 LX450 with the original stereo amp etc. Two upgraded speakers in the front doors are the only mods that have been made. When I turn the stereo on I hear a low noise pop at first then it plays just fine. Turning off I hear a loud pop. What could this be ? The amp itself ? , a bad ground ? ( if so where is the factory amp ground wire ? )

Please help if anyone can as this is super annoying

Does it do it no matter the source?

Any added items like those cassette-to-ipod type things hooked up?

Yes it does it no matter what source it is in

Nothing like that is hooked up to it

So IIRC, the stereo amp is in the rear PS quarterpanel behind the wheelwell, take that big plasic panel out.

I might be wrong, my stereo in my old 450 was simplified to a single DIN & my buddy used the factory speakers, bypassing the factory amp. Just behind that little storage compartment, about a 5" x 6" box.

Do you have a FSM for it?

I gave mine to the buyer of mine, but the LX450 one had the EWD in it, it's gotta be about 4" thick, no joke.

Either DL a copy, or if paper is more your thing, they aren't cheap but well worth it esp if you plan to keep yours any length of time.

I checked it out , removed the stereo, looked at the amplifier.. all the wires are original .. im assuming i have a loose/bad ground .. where could i check for these ?
