I haven't figured out what the problem is yet. Is your problem affecting all of the channels? Is the noise present when there aren't any rca's connected to the amplifier? Have you tried another source like an ipod directly into the amplifier? I only had the front channels connected, I never got aro...

Did you ever figure out the problem with this? The weirdest thing happened today, I have a PG ZX475ti, I went to run some errands today, everything was running well. Parked the car, and came back out maybe 3 hours later, when my headunit booted up, there was that constant HIGH frequency squealing ou...

no its not hard to bend, what i was trying to say was the strands didnt really mold very well together. Like for instance, speaker wire, you can twist the copper with ease if your trying to fit it into an opening or what not, the strands just sort of mold together right? With that entry level Knu wi...

quick question, since running 1/0 gauge wiring, do you guys run a wire to the negative battery terminal at all, or just the chassis? Is there any benefit to running a wire directly to the negative battery terminal?

so currently i just have a zx475ti and zx600ti, planning on upgrading to either a JL slash 1000/1 or a ti1000.2 in the future. Is the PG AKIT-1's wire strand count enough for all of this?

So are all 1/0 gauge wire created equal?

So Im looking at upgrading my wiring to 1/0 gauge. I get many suggestions for the Kicker 1/0 gauge kit which seems insanely expensive to me at around $200. Whats wrong with the Phoenix Gold AKIT-ONE 1/0 gauge wire kit @ ~ $70. Am I missing something?
