[QUOTE="hatedonmostly, post: 6434386, member: 611322"] I think my speakers are out of phase, they start getting staticky when I start to turn up the volume. I think I messed this up because on the speakers, on the positive and negative voice coils, the terminals were different sizes; I think I assumed that the larger terminal would be the positive, although it connected to the black w/ white wire, as opposed to the all black wire. So, I'm thinking that's definitely a possibility. However, I also did not remove all the paint from the area around my ground for my amp as well, another problem I will have to fix. Also, I had the wrong kind of RCA y-splitters at first; I have 1F 2M splitters and need 1M 2F. It was late, so I went to the store and got some home theater y-splitters, turn on the radio to see how it sounds and I get a weird noise that I can only describe as a UFO landing in a '50's horror movie.
