[QUOTE="knukonceptz, post: 1932064, member: 548221"] Resistance is what a ground loop is, it is the difference in voltage from one electrontic component to another caused by resisitance. I said that in the first post. The HU or amp is using the RCA cable to obtain power from one another and that causes the whine because the resistance in the RCA cable is lower then the ground to one of the components. That is the basis of a ground loop. So you need a less resisitive path then the RCA to one of the items. Now you mention a fried amp, was the amp replaced or repaired? have you tried other amps in the same car? [/QUOTE]
