    Loud hum when turning car off

    I’ve got a 1500 watt amp and 2 kicker 12” subs that play a loud hum when I turn the car off. This note plays during the time between the engine shutting off and the amp getting cut off. ALSO: I noticed that if I unplug thr RCA from the amp, this does not happen. What might be the issue?

    Amp noise

    I have a static/white noise coming from my 4 channel. I was trouble shooting a radio problem but when the rcas were disconnected from my amp, i still had the static. I have the same noise with multiple grounds. What causes the noise on the amp with power, ground, remote and speaker wire connected?

    So I decided to redo my wiring, really just reorganize it. I began doing all this without disconnecting the negative on the battery because I was fairly confident that I wasn't going to short anything out and didn't want to have to reset all my settings on the headunit. Before we begin, it's...

Long story short I'm guessing I blowed the pioneer pico fuse...
