There is no direct mention of a popping sound issue in the provided context. However, possible reasons for your Rockville SS8P making a popping sound but not producing bass could include:
1. Power Issues – Ensure the amplifier is receiving proper voltage and has the correct fuse installed. In the context, a 10A fuse was used instead of a 15A, which might impact performance.
2. Input Connection Issue – The manual warns against connecting both high-level and low-level inputs simultaneously. Ensure only one type of input is connected properly.
3. Auto Power On Setting – If the Auto Power On switch is off, the amplifier might not be functioning correctly.
4. Speaker or Wiring Fault – Check for loose or damaged wiring, as poor connections can cause popping sounds.
If the issue persists, inspecting the subwoofer's internal components or testing with a different power source may help diagnose the problem.

Wiring Low Level Input Low-level (RCA) input wiring is preferred for best audio performance. Most trunk and un- derseat installations will require a 6 – 12 foot RCA cable. Always use a high quality cable. ATTENTION Do not connect the high level and low level inputs to the amplifier at the same time! From Head Unit RCA output or subwoofer output if available High Level Input...
