OK techies..I have an older Kustom 300 - 6 channel PA head. Anyone have a relatively easy cure for the speaker "pop" when turning the unit on or off? It pops fairly loudly regardless of where the volumes are set. I have an old Kasino Club PA head that does the same thing. Wheel

Bill, turn the amp's volume down first. All GOOD amps thump, it's a sign of power! Really, my 250's thump, my Acoustic (oops!) thump, and some peavey crap I had thumped. Mine don't thump so loud that the speaker jumps real bad, but you can hear it. If yours are thumping real loud, I would be concerned. There are some mods you can do to Acoustic brand amps, but I can't seem to find that tech sheet at the moment. It's a modification that slowly brings the power to full. I'm sure some of the techie guys here will have some thoughts, ideas and possible solutions.

My experience has always been ..when there is a standby switch, no pop maybe your local repair shop can install one for you. or just live with it cuz mine does it too.
