I have an Audiobahn a6601q ( http://mainstreet-caraudio.com/car/audiobahn/a6601q.htm ). Last night I was listening to music and out of nowhere music stopped. Then I got this "pock" sound on my speakers every like 5 seconds, i could see them bouncing out alot every time the noise was made. Checked everything, so its defenetly in the amplifier where the problem is. (HU is working perfectly, I installed another amplifier i had, and used every rca, and speaker cable on it and eveything was fine.) The weird thing is that the amp, turns on, everything looks normal, i just dont get music out of it, just this "pock" sound constantly. Any suggestions??

That "pock" sound... seems like the power supply is charging the internal amp capacitors and then discharges that energy. You get a good amount of voltage to the cones... but something in the audio chain is not getting audio signals from the HU, through the preamps and into the main output transistors.

PS Sounds like your amp took a dive and needs a repair tech to look at it. May be power supply, preamp related or output transistors are fried.

Try 'tweaking the knobs' on your amp... I had a cheap eq that would cause this problem, not saying your equiptment is cheap, but occasionally the adjustable gain, sensitivity, fade, or balance controlls get either dirty or worn if they are kept in one spot for a long period of time. working them back and forth may help, or a can of compressed air could help some also.
