Well kids figured it out. After loads of testing and throwing a bunch of noise filters on everything I could think of it turns out the stupid relay for the light bar was the issue the whole time! I had to put a 1 amp diode on the relay to help with spikes from the relay coil. After throwing the...

I believe its closer to 700 or 800 I went overkill on it.

Gonna test it later today can't rattle away at 5am haha. I'm sure my ground is solid it was direct to cab and the cab has a direct ground to engine block. Planning on trying a cap on the lead to the amp as my friend said mostly because when we disconnected the amp from the battery the pop was...
