[QUOTE="skdooley, post: 8295368, member: 627957"] Also check your RCAs. Your amp is amplifying the AC signal its getting from your head unit so as you turn the volume knob on your deck up, that signal strength goes up in accordance. It sounds to me like the signal is so weak at lower volume that once you turn up the volume enough, the signal is strong enough for the amp to properly boost the signal its receiving. This could be from a bad or loose connection on one or both of the RCAs. If you find that the RCAs aren't snug on the deck and/or at the amp you can gently give the outer casing of the RCAs a squeeze with a pair of plyers, while unplugged from the source, to allow the casing to slide back on more tightly.
