Heres the setup: pioneer headunit, kicker 4 channel amp powering kicker mids and highs.
Heres the problem: Speakers make a constant staticy noise with the music and the static progressively gets worst until the speaker eventually stops puttin out any sound of any sort.
I have tried a couple things to try and fix this. Tried changing out RCA's, tried switching out amps, and tried new speakers none of this had any effect on my problem. The only thing left that i could think of is that the headunit is corrupt.
Anyone else have any ideas on what my problem could be. Thanks

Ok, three huge questions....
1. How did you ground the amp? (gauge wire, distance etc)
2. Where are you running your wires? (need to sepearte power, RCA and speaker leads unless you buy $100+ rcas)
3. are you positive you are connected +/+ and -/-? if you used factory wiring, this is often misleading.
