This is what I am going to do tomorrow to try and fix the problem:
1. Use new RCa's

2. RUn the head unit ground directly to the neg on the battery,

3. connect the filter from the 9887 harness.

IF that shit still makes soundes, im going to go insane. Can you guys think of anything else?

If it still happens get it swapped out for a new one.

I guess I will have too. I just cant imagine having a brand new head unit that has issues right off the bat. It has to be the RCA's/Ground.

Usually if there is a defect it will be prevelant right away.

I will be working to try and fix this problem from now until 9:30 tonight. I will be checking this thread and posting updates to see if what I do fixes this problem.

Using new RCAs directly to the amp(not runnin em yet)

running ground and power directly from the amp(fusing the power)

and adding the filter box to the harness.

Okay so I ran new rca's directly from the HU to the 4 channel amp. I also ran new power wire from the hu to the battery, and ran new ground from the HU to the ground on the battery, AND I added the yellow filter looking thing I showed you guys that the 9887 harness had that the 9883 did not.

Same ****ing thing, static at low volume and now the beep from the brake turned into static when I release, and also while holding the brake and messing around with the shifter in park creates static in the speakers as well...

wtf?!?!?!

now I am going to run the speaker wire directly from the 4 channel to the head unit.

You're gonna do what??? Speaker wire from the head unit to the amp??? For what??

I mean I am going to run speaker wire directly from the drivers to the amp, not the head unit. The only wires from the head unit are power ground and remote... and the orange illum.

that would make it so their is no speaker wire interference.

You didn't have speaker wire run directly from the amp to the drivers originally? How did you have it setup originally?

Okay so RIGHT NOW I have:

1. A ground directly from the neg on the battery to the Hu(Best possible ground)

2. Power directly from the Positive on the battery to the Head unit(Best possible power)

3. RCA's ran outside the car directly from the 4 channel amp to the head unit.

4. Installed the noise filter from the 9887 harness.

5. Ran the speaker wire from each driver to the amp

WTWFFWTWFTWFTWFTWFTWFTWW????= WHAT THE ****!!!!!!

I am still getting the same static in the tweeters that I did not get with the 9883,

I am still getting a static when I fiddle with my shifter in park which did not happen with the 9883.

Nismos, can I call you so you can walk me through this shit? You seem to be good with this head unit.

well I did but I had it routed through underneath the dash then to the stock wiring for the mids, and the wiring I had done for the tweeters. I wanted to eliminate any possible interference.

I had a similar hiss/ticking/static through my tweeters but it stopped when I turned the gain down a tad on my 2 channel amp. I've been too lazy to find the culprit because it's been loud enough at that setting.
