[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8821515, member: 614752"] Hah, the old Kenwood I'm thinking of I liked so much I had also bought a second one right after they dropped that model so that I'd have a spare when mine failed. Both did eventually go the same way. Take the ground off and see. Corrosion could work its way in there anywhere. Again, keep in mind part of the circuit the - path is following is through the car's body/frame and through that shitty little wire up under the hood that connects the - terminal on the battery to the frame up under the hood so do check that if you're trying to diagnose possible bad ground. You probably have ruled out your source unit at least. Do both amps give you issues or just the sub amp? Might be something failing internally in that amp. I've had some strange sounds get into amps from transformers that are not well glued from the factory that start to loosen up and unwind and I'm sure there's other stuff that could be failing. Not sure how old your amp is but my memory tells me DB Drive has made an amp by that name for over a decade now. [/QUOTE]
