[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8397133, member: 665412"] I've had this amp for about 2 years, and recently it began inducing noise into my system. How? It backfeeds through the RCA's into the HU (or external Crossover/linedriver) and then out into my midrange and highs amplifier. To be clear the model I have is the ASA1000.1DX that was sold up until a year or so ago and that model was discontinued. This is not due to other components in my system, I have ruled out everything else, and ruled in this amplifier after wasting hours of my time on it regrounding it, using different RCAs, different HU, completely rewired ALL my power and grounds as well. Tried adding a ground directly the RCA's input into the amp and the amplifier casing on a metal screw, noise was reduced by half but still extremely loud. I was able to find some internals on caco, unfortunately I'm not well versed in amplifier internals but I know for the most part what to look for.
