[QUOTE="Streetz, post: 5206973, member: 602994"] Thanks for your reply... The ground is very good, moved to a new spot at the bottom of my trunk. Used sandpaper and got all the paint off, good connection there. Both ground and positive wires are 4 gauge, biggest the amp can take, so maybe a cap is needed. When I tried a second set of RCAs, they weren't ran through the car. Since it was for testing purposes, I had plugged them in the CD player out the door and straight to the trunk and amplifier so it can't be the way the current ones are run. This box is brand new and made per the subwoofers' specs. I thought maybe it was the box I had them in before (from my old system) so went out and got a new one made, same thing so that rules out the box. Guess I'll try and get my amp tested this week. For substituting the subs, I assumed since they BOTH did it and at the exact same time it wasn't them. I can take one from my previous setup and see if it does it as well to be sure it's not the subs. If it's not, then I guess everything just points to my amplifier [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/IMG] EDIT ADDED: I forgot to mention that the distortion sounds happen every 2 or 3 times from the deep bass notes. Example, playing a song, same beat throughout it. Deep bass for 1 second every 4 seconds. The distortion will happen every other time, or 3 times.
