Rebel4055 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Just started happening after I upgraded my amp and wire. I grounded back to the strut tower where I had my old amp. Already checked the RCA's and had them unplugged and it still did it. Bad ground maybe? Quote Rest In Peace mother.

Benji0687 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Id definitely check the ground. Thats what it was when I had that problem. Mine was REALLY bad, with a wall of 4 15s on a 1501d Quote 1989 Chevy Caprice Classic350ci V8 High Performance JVC Arsenal HU JL XR series components Infinity Reference 6x9s Pioneer Premier 4-Channel Clarion 2-Channel Rockford Fosgate Series 1 2-Channel Fusion 2000.1D MTX Crossover RF, Knu, Kicker, and Monster wiring NVX VCW 12in.

Boon Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 It's always a ground thing. Do you have a switch or relay on the remote wire? Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was REALLY bad, with a wall of 4 15s on a 1501d I REALLY wanted to ground it down to the chassis but since this is a unibody car the strut towers were the best place. I may get like 25' 4 gauge and run a line for the ground from up front. I'm cleaning up wires tomorrow so I'll see what I can do with the ground for now. Quote Rest In Peace mother.

doug118 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 you grounded to the strut tower which is covered in paint. sand the paint off under where the ground is and I bet the problem goes away Quote 2001 Tahoe.
