Unfortunately, I didn't get to test that. I ended up just ripping the amp out of the car because I think it IS the amp. I went to Best Buy and bought new RCA cables and plugged them in in the parking lot. It did not fix the problem. The only thing I can assume is that I've fried the output of...

So, I was able to replace my head unit today. It did not fix it. The only thing left is the RCA cables, right?

With the RCA cables out of the HU, the sub stops doing its thing by itself. If you tap on the RCA cable tips with your finger, you can hear the sub booming whenenver you tap them.

My friend did exactly that. He wrapped a wire around the RCA and did something. But still, the sub just "hums" and has no connection with the music. The place I bought the head unit from said they will exchange it for a new one. I just want to be sure it's a head unit. This whole ordeal has me...

Anyone?

What do you mean? I know my buddy took the RCA cables out from the back of the head unit and tapped them. The sub then stopped humming rapidly by itself. It only responded when he tapped the tip of the cable with his finger. He said it has a ground loop because the pico fuse is broken. Sound...

Just some more information to help this ordeal... I went over my friend's house (the guy that installed this all). He said the amp and sub are fine, but by shorting a speaker wire to power, I blew the head unit out of phase and blew the internal "PKO" fuse. Does this sound correct?

I took power away from the amp for ~5min, plugged the sub back in. gave power back to the amp, and it's still "humming". Something else to note... The "protection" light is still not on, even with the sub hooked up. Is that bad?

Also, I'm not sure what good this picture is for obvious reasons...but, if you guys need a closeup on something, let me know.

What would taking power away from it do, exactly? Would it be different than just not turning the car on all night? Also, I'm assuming it is safe to plug it back into the woofer, then? I'm trusting you know your stuff.

Repost where?

Hello! I'm sorry if this is frowned upon, but this is my topic: www(dot)bimmerfest(dot)com/forums/showthread.php?p=7810345#post7810345 I wanted to get as many conclusions as possible on it. I figure this place would be more knowledgeable about the topic anyhow. Thank you.
