problems

So recently my amp has started to make a bunch of noise come out of my subs. I have disconnected the RCA cables and it will still make the noise. I'm thinking it has something to do with the rem wire. But I'm not quite sure what it is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And if I can tomorrow or tonight if they do it again I'll shoot a video of it.

Not sure exact problem but would doubt the remote wire could cause anything. To be sure, next time it does it use a DMM (Digital Multi Meter) on the amp and make sure the power and remote both have 12+ volts going to them. Also i would check my ground wire to make sure it has a good connection with bare metal.

Did u run the power, rca's, remote and all that on the same side of the car? Some people say that it won't effect anything, but from personal experience, it definately does.

What the f**k is an appropriate signature supposed to look like?

no i didnt i have my rcas and remote wire runing down the drivers side and power down the pass. i have put my dmm to it and got over 12 volts to power and remote wires. the amp chooses when to turn on and when not to. could this probably be a problem with the amp itself?
