kmalinich Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Ground loop. Try grounding the RCAs on the HU to the chassis ground (just use a screw on the HU) I think there's a picture of it done somewhere on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote REFF'SMy linkEBAYhttp://feedback.ebay...ck&myworld=trueI love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
