RCA interference at amp connection

[ASpec818 10+ year member]

So my speakers are making a buzzing/hissing/cracky noise. I located the source of the problem and it seems when I move the RCA connections at the amp it has an effect on the sound. I guess this means it's not a solid connection? What's the best way to remedy this?

any guesses? bad rca's, bad amp?

Not sure if this could be the cause but I'm sure someone will ask... How much power are you running and what side of the car is it on (in comparison to the RCA's)?

I would definitely try new RCAs before getting a new amp though.

if the buzzing goes up and down with the engine i would say interferance if it's just constant i would look into a new set of RCA's.if you can use another source and feed another set of rca's from that to the amp.If it goes away junk the rca's and get some new ones.
