n8ball2013 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 This is an interesting one. I just turned the car off for about thirty seconds, got back in and started it up and picked up static through all four channels. Not a ground loop static as if it was a radio station that doesnt come in. Its there on all sources. Put the head unit into standby mode and it goes away. turn the volume up or down and the level stays the same. unplug the RCAS from the four channel and it goes away. plug them in and as soon as they are plugged in it comes back regardless of what order they are plugged into. I cant pull the deck tonight to see if something came loose. headunit is a Kenwood ddx-516 and the amp is an aq 4x90. Im thinking right now that my deck or my amp just shit the bed. Anyone experienced this? Ill have some time to trouble shoot tomorrow and can put a different amp in to check it out even but Im just curious if anyones ever ran into this. All my years Ive never came across static like this.

fox_racin4 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Try a 3.5mm to RCA into amp if possible If that works id say its possibly RCA or the deck Can try grounding your rcas to deck (like pioneer usuers do) Quote 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmedina Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) I've been having this problem for a while. I tried grounding the rca's on my hu but the noise is still there. Once playing music at high volumes it becomes unnoticeable but its there. Get annoying but I couldn't find a solution so I just left it.

Skullz Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yeah, my alpine took a crap not long ago. I started the car and had this really weird static as if something was shorting out so i turned the car off and tried it again only to have it not do it again but as time went on it went down hill and quit completely.

matt402 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 pinched rca's maybe? swap em out & see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilboom Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 1 may sound weird but,check your power connection under the hood ,wire location,connection strength and condition under hood hear causes the rubber around the wire to become weak = vulnerable to any noise(doubt its this though). 2 You're bass rattled your rcs's now you need new ones, check rca outputs/inputs also .

irpirate Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 sounds like a problem i had before. static on any source, same at all volumes. went through a lot of trouble shooting and it ended up being the headunit crapped out.

jconnway Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 could you be picking up the static through the rca somewhere along the run? like maybe they rubbed through and theres contact somewhere to the frame or something. I don't think the outs on the deck are the problem though. Quote Full Pioneer Build 4 Per Door - Front Door Build Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EclipseChris Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I know you have one of these somewhere , hook that up with an ipod or your phone and if ti works fine its the deck.
