POPPING Sound as a result of ECO Start/Stop Function

[Guest devilish8]

Hi Guys,

I recently upgraded my front stock speakers to a pair of 2 way Dynaudio Esotec 252s, used a Genesis Stereo 100 amp to power the tweeters and a Genesis Dual Mono amp for the 7" woofers. I then added an Italian 12" Phase Evo Aliante SI Subwoofer and powered it with a AudioBank 1500.1 Monoblock Amp. All these are then hooked up to a JBL MS-8 sound proccessor.

I'm pretty happy with the results that I'm getting except for one pretty annoying problem...my 2011 E250 Cabrio comes standard with a default ECO start/stop function. This is causing a popping sound whenever the brakes are depressed and released, activating the engine Start/Stop function which was meant to save fuel. I did not experiece any pop sound when I switch off the engine physically. Because the car starts off in ECO mode by default, I have to physically switch off the ECO mode whenever I use the car, or I will have a popping sound everytime the ECO kicks in.

Are any of you guys facing the same problem? Is there a way to get around this?

Alternatively, is there a way to remove the ECO start/stop function from the default settings?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like your amps remote start relay problem cause by your eco start!

Go back to your ICE installer for help!

He should be able to settle your problem.

mmm... i dont get the popping sound.. just that you will feel the engine restart quite irritating.

prpbably your hifi kinda linked to the engine power so got complications.

best advice is to off your eco before you move off.

basically on the recirculation button then quickly off eco.

Thats what i do. your drive will be more responsive.

btw ECO is a good thing for environment purposes cuts off CO2 emissions.

but ECO is bot good for driver comfort.

so depends. EU Countries they like to have social repsonsibility o=so they probably keep ECO on as they are environmentalist...

in short some things just got to give.

Dont look as ECO as irritating.

probably look at it as it gives you a chance to safe the earth when you feel like doing so ;>

Did u add amps to your sound system? The popping started only after the addition of amps.

I got 4 amps in my setup. Was ok until I added the Alpine H800. After I replaced it with the MS-8 and added the capacitor, no more popping sound. I actually had an MS-8 from my Audi that I sold off at 650, then bought another one to replace the H800. Felt kind of stupid in the end. Was thinking if I can get one back for the same price, I don't mind putting it into my evo to salvage my useless kenwood head unit. How's the audison?
