annoying problem

[aj200415 10+ year member]

i have a 96' ford explorer. I had a sony xplod head unit, and got rid of it because i thought it was bad. It would have a bad cracking/ popping sound and is especially bad when subs are on....so i got a pioneer, and same thing. So not head unit.

im trying to think of what it could be. it obviouly in wiring or something. The weird part is, when i put new cd player in, i had to redo all wires, and stuff, so it is highly unlikely that i screwed up twice....

bad ground maybe? rca's to close to power?

could also be a speaker wire or two shorting out somewhere. try disconnecting one speaker at a time and see if the problem goes away...

well not amp, cause you can hear it (not real bad cause its not any bass) whe nthe subs are off. I have the rcas and the REM wire run together, but i really dont think it would hurt it. Would it?

ya from what your saying that would be a problem with your RCA's or a bad grounding spot. Did you change out the RCA's when you got the new HU?
