Sub pops and buzzes...

I hooked up my Fi and my AQ in my car and now I have some noise issues.

I re-did the amp ground so i don't think thats the problem

I check the RCAs with a Ground loop isolator

and it stoped but there was no signal at all.

My last idea is to ground the RCAs but that seems like its a pioneer issue.

the Noise it kind of like alt. whine but it has spikes when i drive,

almost like its from me hitting bumps and stuff.

Also when i change tracks on the CD it reacts to that as well.

What should be my next step in eliminating this problem?

check amp ground

power wire and rcas running side by side can cause this

my RCAs are in the passenger side and power on driver side.

I changed the grounding location and I'm trying easier ways

to solve this problem before i run a ground wire from the battery.

I dont think running the ground to the batery is a good idea. I was always told to run ground from the closest piont possible, and make sure it is grounded to the chasis, frame. Have you checked the remote lead. That small wire tends to get pinched causing amp to flicker on and off and lots other possible issues.
