Can These Rca's Be Bad?

[emperorjj1]

pioneer is blown these guys keep on telling you. get a piece of wire and preferably at the HU touch the outer shield on one rca to a ground (the hu chassis works). you can also do this right at the amp if taking out the hu is too difficult but its much better to do at the HU

Would getting a different H/U hopefully fix this? The "pioneer" problem.

well we dont even know thats the issue quite yet... need you to test on ur end man only thing we can do is throw out ideas, but im 85% sure thats the issue and once you confirm that with 10 minutes of time and a 5cent piece of wire you can fix it permanently and be done with it. But if you would rather just go out and buy a new hu thats all good and gravy, hope i was right and it isnt something else other then the hu

well my H/U's ground is just conected to the car's ground wire. And how do i connect the Wire to the Rca's ground? i want to try this before i buy a new H/U. But i need more info from you more experienced people.

And do i have to ground each Rca. So all 6?

all you have to do is get a wire and touch it together for a second to test it

Do i have to ground it to the headunit, or can i just screw into the Chassis. Cuz i dont believe my head unit is ground directly to the chassis, but to the wire in the wire harness. Do i just have it on for a second or have it on there permanetly.

put it on for a second and see if it fixes the problem. You could put it permanently anyway thou if u really wanted

chassis ground and wire harness ground are one in the same. The chassis isnt a magical ground it uses the wire harness to work

Ok ill give it a try, and hopefully the thing im thinking of screwing it to is the chassis. I believe it is, i guess we will find out. Ill post when i have tryed it, and on that ICIXsound.com link, it said that this may not take away all of the noise even if this is the problem. But ill pray that it will or hello Kenwood

thats allways a good way to get noise
