Question

Answer
Hi Rebecca,

Popping is usually caused by a bad electrical connection or a bad ground somewhere.  Make sure the electrical connections going to all of your equipment were made securely with butt connectors at the very least, and soldered/heat shrinked at best.

Unfortunately, it might end up being one of those things you have to live with.
