    Well I got my system installed but I’m having static out of my tweeters from volume set at 0-15. What would cause this? I’ve tried changing the jumper on the crossovers but it didn’t seem to change anything.
    Please ignore the wiring, I knew I would probably want to change the sub to 12 soon

    Did you use factory wiring or run new speaker wires

    Stuff like this can always be difficult.

    Do you actually stop getting static the instant the volume hits 16? Or is the volume just loud enough to not hear it?
    Have you lowered the gains on the amp?
    Have you moved the rca’s around to various inputs and outputs?
    Have you tried a different shorter set of RCA cables? Looks like a lot rolled up in a spool in that picture and that can sometimes cause issues.

    The spool is for the sub it’s longer than I would like 12’. The front and rears are on 6’ rca. Both front and rear tweeters have static. I got a different song on and can hear clearer that I just drown out the static at higher volumes. My gains are set high but at full volume the speaking sound clear. Amp puts out 65-70rms speakers are rated 100rms. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to lower my gain since it’s not having issues in high end.

    Apparently and dumb and stubborn. Turning the gain down on fronts and rears got rid of the static but I lost some volume on the front end. I was trying to get the max out of top end I forgot the lower range. Thanks for the reminder

    So lowering the gain cleared it up for you?

    also, make sure your amp is set to low level input. The DSR1 only does like a 4v signal

    Yes I turned my volume to 0 and turned the gains down until the static went away. The only thing now is my volume is less linear when turning it up. Very low volume until 20 then it turns up much faster.

    both amp and maestro and amp are set to low input.

    That’s a bit strange. I’m not familiar with the DSR1 settings but I know for the PAC AmpPro, the volume is perfectly linear. I might play around with the software and see if there’s something you can do about that. Or reach out to their support and see if they know if that’s normal. Their tech guys are great
