i was testing an amp i just got , when testing it i used 'kicker' twisted pair speaker wires , hooked up to a 6x9...
the amp did not have terminals , but wires...when i hooked the amp up to the twisted pair wires, i slit the twisted pair wire and pulled the insulation out about 1 centimeter, not off....and wrapped the amps wires around in a perpendicular fashion.
when i did this the amp made a humming noise, if i just wrapped it around loosely the noise would be weak, but if i actually squeeze on the wire tight the humming would become louder,
tightly wound the humming would stay and be very loud.
then i pulled the insulation completely off, and just twisted them together regularly....and there was no humming noise.
my question is...wtf?
... ive never had this happen
