Popping noise when braking

[nickjohn]

So I've read numerous posts regarding popping noises and I'm just lost. I own a 04 350z and replaced the Bose head unit with a the Clarion CX609 head unit. I still have the stock speakers and stock amp. Anyways... Every time I hit the brakes I get a single pop sound. When the volume is turned down to 0 I can't hear it, same for when the volume is cranked up. I also hear a pop sound when I use the rear windshield wiper. The sound is coming from all speakers. I've tried different spots for the ground wire and nothing helps!

Someone please help!

grounding the rca's on the back of the headunit might work.

How does one go about grounding the rca's? What kind of wire should I use?

see phemps post above.

take a peace of speaker wire (yea i know i spelt peace wrong) and wrap it around your RCA's into a figure 8 and then ground that wire. i grounded my fire to the headunit chasis, any bare metal is fine.

should help. did for me.

if not come back and let us know
