[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 7625648, member: 624844"] IF you unplugged the RCA's from the head unit and it still has the same issue...it is most likely a ground loop or the amp is picking up noise through the power wires near the RCA's. The way to fix it is to clean your ground for your amp and make sure you have a solid ground with the same gauge wire as your power. If you still have noise, try routing the remote/power wires for your TV's etc away from your RCA's by at least a foot. Any wires that run parallel to your signal wires can be a source of noise. Its always best to run the wires perpendicular (across) the input/signal wires or keep them away if possible. Also make sure your head unit is grounded to the chassis/metal and not through the wiring harness. I have found that some harnesses do not have a clean ground so the HU picks up noise or ground loops through another device. Ground the wire within 1 foot of the HU if possible. [/QUOTE]
