Popping Noise From Tower Speakers

I'm getting a popping noise from my tower speakers when the deck is turning on. After the initial noise it goes away all together until I turn the deck off. The Amp that is powering the tower speakers is coming into another amp which two sets of rca going to the deck. Any Ideas? Thanks.

How are you turning the amps on? Are you using the radio to control amp turn on or something else?

The way you describe it, it sort of sounds like the amps are on prior to the radio being on...

Can you confirm?

I had a similar problem and my dealer narrowed it down to the rca outputs on the deck were a little loose and not quite touching the internal board in the deck quite right. So it was creating a bit of an arc sending that nasty 'popping' sound to my towers. The popping also happened when I would hit big rollers or white caps the vibration from the jolt tweaked on the RCA's just enough to send that arc/popping sound.

They replaced the deck and it was good as new, no more popping. I did take us an entire summer to figure it out though

. The original deck was a kenwood 3248 (i think), definitely a kenwood, just cant remember model for sure. Good luck
