Remote wire? Have you tried w/o using the bass knob? I would think the ground wire could be the issue, not the remote wire. Check ground, is what I would do 1st.

Something either corroded or lose connection somewhere.

Are you able to open up the amp to get a better look? That might indicate the culprit right there. Anything lose inside the amp will have a neg affect in sounds.

Does the sound go out when it pops ? Sorta sounds like an rca ground issue maybe on the circuit board ..if the amp uses basic rca inputs and not tiff connectors..I’ve seen the ground part of the connector actually pull off inside a quality rca with a bite ..I’ve replaced many on cheaper amps with the tiff style rcas

The wiggle sounds like the issue. Poor ground creating a bad circuit creating noise.

Definitely open it up and see what looks bad..or post a video.

Also, when troubleshooting. Always try to isolate the device to see if anything else is causing the issue. In this case. Take out the remote wire and bass knob(unplug from amp) and Rcas. Short a paper clip between the remote terminal and the Positive of the amp. This wont spark or hurt anything. Its just a direct ON for the amp.

still pop? Issue internally with the amp.

Plug in each thing till you get the pop. Thats your issue.

Someone correct me if im wrong.
