Got To Love Feedback?

[Iksnipe 10+ year member]

So my gear is acting a little weird. When my car is in Aux mode, my speakers sound fine with a tiny tiny bit of feedback and my amp makes a popping sound when I shut off the car. Then when my cars on normally the amp still pops when I turn the car off and I can here bad feedback(blinker sound coming through speakers, buzzing, etc)

I can't figure out whats doing it, I thought it was the ACC wire but I can't test it because without it the headunit obviously won't turn on...

If anyone has any ideas, hit me up.

Thanks,

DJ

re ground your rca's ground

My headunit has a built in rca ground. I help ground it with speaker wire attached to a screw on the back of my head unit, but how else would I re-ground it?

I'm just hoping this is a wicked easy fix, move a wire and its all good.

If anyone has any idea on what I should do it would be wicked helpful

Thanks,

Look up grounded RCAs that your problem. You have a pioneer deck this is very common with pioneer
