Popping when starting
The radio pops when I start the bike no matter where the vol is. It did it last week and then the head unit went dead. Took the fairing off and got it to work. I ran a ground from the battery to the HU and amp and also connected the pink/white wire from the ascw to the bike, had it grounded before, and finally got the head unit to power on and work but now the rear channels have real low output. Checked the fader first and then swapped the RCA cables for the front to the back and the back worked but the front didn't. Don't know if the rear channel is bad or what and what made it happen if that is the case. The head unit is a Sony mex-m70bt, bt-4180 amp. Anything else to check?

No hog Tunes here either. Kickers in the lowers and back pods and BT 7.1's in the fairing. Checked the ground yesterday and ran ground back to the battery for the amp and head unit. Still pops. Wondering if the pop eliminator that floridapoolboy had the link for would help? Cheap enough to give it a try.

My understanding is the pop occurs from simultaneous turn on the amp and HU. The radio remote wire should have a turn on delay similar to the link posted above. I believe that has resolved this for some.

I wonder if that is the case since it only pops when I try to start it. Don't know if the delay would help since the amp and head unit should be on when you turn the ignition on correct? It doesn't pop then. Wonder if there is an inrush of current when the bike is starting? Or maybe the current is not enough when the starter is running? Be nice if there was a way to measure that.

Haze is on point. Dawort how do you have your HU connected to your amp. Remote blue wire to the amp from the HU? If that's the case then try separating the two so they come on at different times to get that delayed effect Haze refers to. In other words connect the HU and the amp to different switched 12v power sources.
