i have 2 amps one 4 channel and one mono block. both same brand. all monster wiring. all clean tight connections everywhere. 4 channel and mids sound great no pop no issues. only the sub does it and only when i pause or ski tracks. its a small tiny one. ive never heard it before. also kenwood excelon headunit. ive checked the wiring everywhere. i know it cant be the sub itself it sounds like some kind of power thing any ideas appretiated!

Where did you ground the amps to?

Could be a bad RCA cable, open signal ground.

I agree. I had the same problem. My Rca cables had a small tear in it and was grounding out.

when i take out the rcas from the amp it stoping poping when i hit the skip or pause button.

of course it does. the noise is generated at the HU. use a DMM to test the RCA's for continuity on both pin and shield, and also test for a short between pin and shield.

so its most likely the rcas? the amps are grounded to the body of car clean sanded smooth. both amps are grounded together. also i have the rcas for the mono amp running alongside the 4 channel amp rcas on the passanger side away from the power wire.

new update just went outside i saw my sub moving to the idle of my engine even with sound all the way off. any chance that means just a bad ground.

Where is the ground connected to?

behind the seats its clean sanded smooth with fine grit sand paper idk if it could be cause both amps are grounded together there?

likely means an open signal ground. replace the RCA's or try with a portable CD player.

could mean a faulty amp.
