wow...uh drill a hole, sand the paint off and put a bolt in it. Better ground for about $2? Why would you just wrap it and tap it....

check to make sure your rca's aren't touching metal anywhere. When I first installed my system I had 2 sets of rca's joined by little couplers which were laying on bare metal...had the same bace beat type of symptom...

yeah see thats that issue i cant fix i tried a gang of sh** putting new RCA's trying different headunits diff subs amps and it did the same thing so im gonna take the advice and drill a whole in my lil honda take the paint off and wrap the ground wire on it and nail it and cross my fingers and hope it works

it can be anything in the preamp out puts. can be the rca cords or the head unit preamp jacks is bad or the preamp output on the amp is bad. try unpluggin one of those rca cords from the amps while its playing. if one is unplugged and the other one is still hooked up and stopped the sub bumpin and then u know its in the preamp outputs jacks

actually i just got some new RCA's put in and my headunit is brand new also and i did try 2 different head units and both headunits gave me same result //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif but i do recall unpluggin one rca and my subs still just go up and down with no beat its not sound its just noise it makes from when i turn on the car so i just left my amp unplugged

make sure your speaker wire going to the woofers isnt touching ground anywhere

Umm - I would say that's your problem right there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Honestly - if you've had multiple people tell you this was a bad idea and an incredibly poor ground connection yet you're still asking what are some common symptoms of a poor ground connection?

Then perhaps aftermarket mobile audio just isn't the hobby for you...

well were trying to teach you and all your doing is asking for other opinions...

 

[monkeyman 10+ year member]

alright alright i wont ask for opinion , ok so then today i took the advice and i opened up my trunk took off the cover for the spare wheel and around the spare wheel everything seems to be the chasis for the car so what i did was i drilled a small hole sanded around that whole til i was able to see the metal or aluminum w.e it is and i took a bolt and screwed it in with my ground cable into it and later on im gonna hook the amp back up and fire it up see what happens , does it sound good on what i did with the ground im not really sure

yeah...just remember the thicker the metal the better the ground spot...
