[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8821445, member: 614752"] I was thinking this as well. If the ground point has become corroded from weather/time or loosened up that may cause you trouble or if the cable that grounds the - terminal of your battery to the frame is failing that would do the same thing. My other suspect is the head unit. JVC is basically just last year's Kenwood with a different brand name and I've had issues in the past with noisy RCA outs from older Kenwoods. Can sometimes be band-aided by grounding out the outer part of the RCA plug to the head unit chasis but really if that internal ground fault is happening it's time to start head unit shopping. Do try to test either your RCA outputs from the deck into a known working amp or try the 3.5mm to RCA with your phone directly into the amp to try to isolate the culprit. [/QUOTE]
