It pops because the volume output is set (full-on), so when the power comes on there is therefore a power surge causing the pop.
Most newer HU's being digital have a "soft-on" option to overcome this and sometimes this is even programable as to how soft.
Really old HU's like the Clarion the Capps came with have analogue controls which effect the "soft-on" manually as the volume is at minimal when the HU switch is clicked on as this was also the volume controller knob, ie. you switched it on and turned it up.
If the subs have a softon or fadein option then select this to overcome the issue.

More talk about "soft-ons" here than in an Erectial Dysfunction ad  |

No "Soft one" options with these, I guess we will have to stay with the "Hard on" option.

| All you need is an 'accesories wire delay/remote turn on module' if you get popping noise on startup... They cost $15 -$20AUD/not a lot (for uk'ers). |

They're only little toy bass units, Azi, not like the big boxes you find weighing down the back of the odd Saxo, so they won't have a huge impact really.

| ah yes, I looked into it a bit more. A little misleading when the unit says 200W, yet its max is 100W (50W RMS). Not very big at all. |

Update!
I have found a newly released active sub that I think will fit under the seats.
Click here for details.
I say I think it will fit because although it is slightly shorter and marginally less wide than the mutant/ripspeed units, it is slightly thicker at 7cm, when the mutant/ripseed subs were 6cm (even though the mutant was advertised at 5cm). Only one way to find out I guess.......
I would imagine that the sound quality would be improved, and I hope that a branded product such as this would not have the annoying pop when powering up (owners of the mutant/ripspeed will know what I am talking about). The only downside is the price - £199.99!!!! That's four times the price of the mutant/ripspeed subs! Four times better? I think not. Worth a try? Definately - someone buy one and try it!!!!!! |

| If it is taller than the Ripspeed ones then I don't think it will fit under the seat. Not without the seat being uncomfortable anyway. |
Drop me a PM if you would like to be added to the ClubCappo Member Map. More details can be found here.

| If you don't have passengers often, lie it behind the passenger backrest (or get a fully dedicated sub enclosure like what Sneaza makes ) |

If it fits snugly in the passenger foot well that might do the trick...
