Help.. Installed new amp

[Bgfx 10+ year member]

Alright I gotta get a tool to loosen the seatbelt bolt that goes direct to the floor of the truck...the amp doesn't have an inline fuse just the ones inside of it..I do have a inline fuse on the power wire at the battery. I want to make a better ground just can't get wire to the chasis. Should I just run a line back to the battey? Thanks for all the advice guys time is a premium with 3 kids and all your suggestions make the process to root out the problem faster.

Yes a ground right to your batt would be the best

Okay changed the ground i am using 2 grounds now on the back wall i can find anywhere on the floor with a bolt and i dont know what to use to pierce steel? the seatbelt bolts are really on there may need some beefier tools. I still have the static pop on start up..I used a jumper from the power to remote an noticed it didn't have the static pop on that turn on, could my loc pac unit be going bad or did I get a bad amp?

Where is your remote connected to

Its connected to the remote that comes off the pac unit I then twisted the leads for my other amp and crossover and mids amp to it also could that be the problem I have a bosch relay I just haven't put it in

Well I just did some searching and found the whole test with taking out the rca's from the source and turning the truck on and I didn't get a thump, or noise so it's not the amp, I just switched the highs amp to its on ground on the wall of my cab still got some static maybe it's my pac oem device?

Bump...I am worried its the amp that test with the rca's proves it not right?

Run a remote wire into your windshield whipper wire or one that turns of with the car and see if that fixes it

are you running a stock head unit that came with your truck? and added a pac convertor box to make rcas? if so is the remote wire from your amp running into that pac box? because i had a similar problem and ended up splicing the remote wire into my ignition wire because i got a pop from the subs and when i turned my volume up too high my amp would cut off. fixed the problem.

I'm pretty sure you will be good once you run a new remote wire

Ok going to run a new remote today but idk if its going to help...I hage noticed that if the radio is at a lower volume under 3 bars that there is no audible pop what's so ever but if the radio is over 3 bars I get a proportionally higher pop are static hiss and pop...what does that mean is the new amp defective? ?? Please let me know I would rather not throw in another remote wire just for the fun of it
