appreciated replies too
the reason the headunit was swapped out to see if was the issue was the owner of shop said i was over analyzing by blaming the grounds. Claiming it was likely a problem in the head unit. But the brand new RCA did the same thing

No problem when you figure this out let us know, cause this is interesting to say the least.

possible that the amp is really REALLY poorly shielded, and is emitting RF, which is being picked up by the radio elements?
really far fetched... but seemingly possible.

Do you have a cap, if so where is it grounded? I would also like to know where you have your amp grounded?

Okay no problem there, that in my opinion is the best spot to ground and amp in the trunk.
And you're sure the defroster is off then it makes the noise?
And you guys have tested the window to make sure you even have an antennae because those things going across the glass can get broken. |
