Bump...I'm curious if anyone has attempted grounding the RCA's as suggested in this thread on a non-Panasonic HU? Anyone????Did this work on your Kenwood? Update please!

The amp has a quiet shutoff function built into the amp. Which means that it holds some energy or something in it so that when it shuts down it doesn't make that pop noise and what i would think is it releasing all the leftover power at once. What you may have done is fried this when you had your meltdown or whatever. As of now, there is no way to fix this. You can A) Get the amp repaired B) Buy a new one or C) Live with it.Dont know if this is a ground loop or not but... I have a pioneer h/u, 2 punch 800s, and a cap. I recently had to change my fuse and fuse holder under the hood due to it melting together. So I replaced it and now when I turn the system on and off it has a loud popping and i can hear a high pitched noise. Then once I crank the engine it has a very loud engine noise. I have checked all grounds and all are bolted to thick metal. This only happens when i have the rcas from the head unit plugged into the amps. I can take an ipod and plug it into the amp for mids and highs and it works fine. Every thing was working fine untill i changed the Fuse holder......Any help would be great as ive been going around and around with this problem.

I currently just barely installed a 4 channel amp running all 4 doors, and newly Just started having this whine problem.
Today while idle it was blaring, and hitting gas even when in park it gets louder, but turning volume up even when playing nothing doesnt increase it.
I tried turning off my HU and the whine stopped. This makes me think its either the 4 channel amps ground, the HU needs a better whine (but never noticed it before and its the same HU from when I only amped the sub) or its the RCA's bit I got nice ones. Any suggestions? I think i'll try tapping into and adding a better ground for the HU, and rechecking the amps ground
Agreed, if you notice the first post in this thread is from 2006 and we are a week away from 2010 and they still have the same problem. I wonder why there's 3 threads or more a week about RD having a batch of bad amps but this has been going on for 4 years and noone is biitching about this.This thread has convinced me pioneer *****... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
