Are your rca's ran next to your power wire?

Try grounding rca's?

Ground, ground, ground. 9 out of 10 times it's a ground. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I'm guessing amp ground or RCA's. You can ground your RCA's if it calls for it. Any road noise with RCA's unplugged? If so, try amp ground first. If not, try RCA's first.

I grounded the rcas and it worked. My friend was looking at me funny when i did it and he said that probably wont work i said" Does it hurt to try it is a junk pioneer unit that needs replaced. Then when i got everything done i turned the car on and went Look at my fried cd player it plays no more road noise. He was like how did that work i was like research.com + caraudio forum. Thnx guys for helping me.
