Left mid speaker popping when turning car off

[aeon 10+ year member]

I just replaced my amp that was running my front speakers and now every time I turn off my car, the left mid speaker pops. When I turn off the headunit, all the speakers pop.

Before this, I never had any popping problems with my other amp. I've checked my grounding wire, remote wire and the speaker wires. Everything looks like they're connected just fine. I've tried running different speakers with that same channel and they all pop. With or without the rca cables plugged in they still pop.

If it helps, I'm running a Soundstream VGA 500.4 and running my front speakers actively.

bad ground

I'll try and find another ground location and see if that helps.

Ok, found another spot for the ground. Sanded it down to bare metal and I'm still getting the pop.. Don't think it's the ground.

Mine does that also, Its casue you have it so your running your remote wire to the wrong wire on the headunit, mine does same thing, amp is on all time and does that, i just rigged up a switched and it fixed all of that.

I'm pretty sure it's wired to the correct wire. The wire on the head unit does say remote wire. I never had a problem with my sub amp and the amp that was previously running.

I was able to get my old amp on and no problems what so ever. I noticed that the bad amp had a lot of distortion. With the volume down to zero there was always hissing. With my old amp it's dead silent.

Not sure how this is going to turn out. Talked to the seller of the amp and he said there wasn't any problems at all when he had it. When I received the box it was pretty beat up, we're thinking it could be damaged during shipping so I'm filing for the insurance claim.
