Well, I finally got the subs and amp setup I got in March to work. Turns out it was a bad ground. Wish I knew that BEFORE I replaced all the wiring, the head unit, and sent the amp off for a $30 inspection. . .

Anyway, it sounds awesome with the engine off, but when I start it up, I get some interferance. Bro thinks its from the ignition, but I am not so sure. Power is run on the passenger side,(And thru the grommet in the firewall) RCA and Remote is on the drivers.

So, how the hell do I fix it?

Could be a couple of things. How close to a Spark plug wire is your power? And how is it hooked to your batt? It is hooked directly to your battery isnt it. The other think I can think of is your ground still isnt good enough. If you are using a cab bolt, clean all the paint off so there is a 100% metal to metal contact. If that is done already, pull the bolt and get it on a bench grinder with a wire wheel. 9 times out of 10 the bolt is greasy or has some other sort of crap on it causing it to be an insufficient ground. Try those things first, also make sure your connections are tight on the amp, batt, and the ground.
