Hello all! I recently upgraded to a 4 channel amp. I had made a posting asking about what amps would well suit my needs, after alot of research I settled on the nvx jad 800.4.
Amp came in I installed it with a 4 guage kicker wiring kit and a pair of 4 channel nvx rca cables. Got it all hooked up and I heard this static/ hissing that increases with volume increase on the head unit. Exactly like anyone would I begin checking my cables and making sure everything has good connections and is tight. Made sure absolutely everything was right and spent countless hours doing so including using multiple different ground points (one of which being to the battery ground itself) I decided the amp was bad from the factory
Decided to return the amp and get a different one which leads me up to today. I got a skar rp150.4 wired everything up turned on the radio and bam exact same thing. After this happening once again I checked every single cable again moved my ground again and once again nothing was wrong.
*note* my battery is in the trunk therefore rca cables arent next to power wires. Also I have a sup and amp installed in this car, and I have installed amplifiers in other cars before
Also few questions I have are one does it matter if the remote wire from the head unit runs with the rca cables? Also could I possibly need a larger guage remote wire? And lastly with adding an amp this large to my car for the speakers require my head unit to need a larger ground? I've never had this issue myself but heard a few people mention that they couldn't use the factory ground?
