Yeah, I can do that. I will do that tomorrow as i dont have school. What would it mean if the amp is clicking? Since it still powers the sub, would it be a wire on the amp arcing to something else?

If it does not make any noise, is there something wrong with my sub?

Thanks for the idea, I never would have thought of that.

I'm an idiot. In the original post I said it clicked at the same rate regardless of engine rpm..........the clicking does change according to engine rpm. The higher the rpm, the faster the clicking is.

I took the sub out of the tube and disconnected it, and there was no noise. I put it all back together and tried unhooking just the gain control and it still clicked at me just the same.

Since the speed of the clicking changes with engine rpm, is my whole electrical system ****ed? Or could a faulty ground cause that? I'm going to go change the ground for the amp right now, even though it looks great.

Any ideas? Thanks for looking.

So I moved the ground for the sub to a better place. Nothing changed.

I also found a good ground for the head unit, in case that was bad. Still no difference. Right at first, after changing the HU ground, I couldn't hear anything, but it kind of faded back into clicking.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif
