I recently purchased 4 new 3-way speakers for my vehicle.

As well as a 4 channel 2400w amp and a equalizer. Equalizer

worked with my sub output to 5000w amp.

When I plug my speakers into the amp and turn it on, all is fine.

But when my 4 RCA go into my equalizer I get static as well as

very low sound like dubbed out. I did a RCA to aux (2 rca plugs)

to test and no static or dubbed, sounds good.

I am ruling out any wires being ran along the power cable as my RCA

are not and my speakers work when not hooked to equalizer.

My amp is grounded good. And the speakers should not be bottoming

out or the RCA to aux would do the same right?

So is my equalizer not grounded good? Or is it just the RCA jacks on it?

get your money back on everything but the sub. You bought a bunch of garbage.
Hate to say it but he's right

The issue could be from any one of them the amp, speakers, and eq are flea market grade. They were built to be thrown away. It's common to see DOA components in this grade of equipment.

 
Iv already opted out faulty speakers and amp when I hooked

a rca to aux to the amp.

What can I do to get the equalizer to not cause static?

your equalizer isnt amplified so no noise should be in it...it just cleans up the sound from your head unit before it goes to your amp...the amplifier ...amplifies the headunits volume...if your deck never got noise before ...id go over the amps wiring...maybe a bad ground to the amp

If I don't use the head unit or equalizer and just RCA to my phone it plays fine.

Try and use the factory ground wire in the harness instead of chassis ground to see if it makes a difference

You need to troubleshoot. I assume you have an aftermarket HU. I'd start there by running a signal from a phone or ipod (etc) to the RCA outputs...
