RCA problems

[aviator08 10+ year member]

Hey guys first post here and looking for some help. Id like to state I read the thread on RCA already and tried almost all but one. I have a kenwood ddx812 that I was trying to put in my silverado. Here's the problems I got if I plug the rca's in I get engine noise, A/C noise and my volumes cuts by like 80% at max you can hear it some what, but if I touch the side of the rca's the volume get way louder like it should be still have the noise in the back round. As to what I've done to correct it was put another ground on the din hooked it up to the one of the trucks grounds it has already, my rca's are on the opposite side of my power, my rca's are JL audio so not cheapo ones, and my amp has a good ground. Now this system worked perfectly well before with my old crappy pioneer single din //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif, soooo looking for any help I can get thanks.

Is the deck grounded to metal or just the stock ground wire?

the stock ground and to one of the engine truck grounds also, I forgot to mention it did lower the noise a bit but still very noticeable.

check your batt ground connection, make sure it is tight and no corrosion.

buy some cheap rcas and try them. sounds like the rca is not properly connected at the hu. sundown guys claim some of the higher end rcas do not mate well.

well I did that too I got some at the shop thinking it might of been the rcas and same problem. I thought it might of been the outputs from the double din but then I plugged in splitter and the same thing happened when I tried the connection on the other end loud around the ring sound goes to crap when plugged in completely.
