hey guys i was wondering if anyone that is good with sound can help me out here

i have a sound system, boston rally front speakers and boston SL rear speakers
i also have 2 alpline type E 10'' subs, and a alpline 5 channel amp

everything works fine, except for one thing...

when i step on my gas my sub starts to play by themselves, and it usually does around 1.5k rpm and me and my frined has no idea why is it doing this, ive had the sub for over 6months now and the problem is really starting to annoy me

my sub would play by itself with no music on its just constant bmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbm

and it usually goes away when i raise my rpms

all of the wiring is done correctly and i have all of the essentials, except for a head unit. so im using a line out convertor to turn my audio to RCA's

anybody know whats going on? if you need more info feel free to ask

please dont say check your ground wire because we have done that many times

so i was wondering if any of you guys with aftermarket sub woofer in your car can help me out?
and please dont flame me...

ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) is the culprit. You need to remove the mics to get rid of that annoying noise. One is located in the ceiling console where your map lights are, and the other one can be reached from the backseat folded down (at least for my coupe).

EDIT: your sig says you have two 10ft subs. Btw that sound isn't the sub playing by itself, cuz you can turn the volume all the way down and still hear it. Bugged the hell out of me before I disconnected the ANC mics.

let us know how it goes, looks from the equipment list should be a nice sounding system.

azntkd, you don't need to remove the radio to disable the ANC. There are plugs on the ends where the mics are. There's one in the sunglass area, and one under the rear deck. It's very accessible, and as simple as unplugging your headlight or tail light.
