[QUOTE="LsGuy, post: 8717817, member: 681035"] Update. So I put new battery cable lugs on. Nice ones. Cleaned off all corrosion. Went behind the head unit and installed a grounding block. Checked continuity between the block and the negative battery cable, 0 ohms. Checked continuity between my amp ground and battery negative, grounded at 1 ohm. This may be an issue, not a perfect ground. May run a cable from my new ground block to the amp ground, it would be about a 4 foot run. Installed new jbl speaker in passenger door and ran brand new 16 gauge speaker wire to it. Just this speaker for a test. Speaker sounds good. Less bass than the display model I heard, but pretty good overall. But, treble static still present in the speaker. My only suspects at this point are possibly the amp ground, the amp it's self, interference with the RCA cables running from the hu to the amp, or the RCA output Jack's on the hu it's self. Will troubleshoot more tomorrow, any guidance? [/QUOTE]
