Deck/amp issues

Apparently this system just wasnt ment to be, as more issues now.. Anyways just yesterday, my speakers starting making a loud hissing noise/ engine whine noise. It is not only hissing loud, but my speakers sound as if they are surround sound speakers. They are producting back ground sounds, and not all the sounds a normal right and left speaker should produce. Not to mention, I have no midbass now.

I thought it may be the rcas, as I had some crapy ones, so I finally put in my new rcas, and still have the same issue. I have reset my deck, and unpluged my amp completely, and still the same issues. I am guessing that this is some issue with my deck. My system is as follows

kenwood x592
m44 recently fixed, and caps replaced this year
pg rsd 6.5s comps

Any thoughts? The only thing I can think of is that my deck suddenly took a dump on me. I havent even had it for a year though.. I dont think its the amp, as It was recently worked on, and had been working flawlessly. Any issues with kenwood decks I am not aware of?

With that many issues I would look at the headunit. Do you have a different source to feed the amp? (Ipod, Zune)

Nope... Well actually I guess I could use my phone, and get a headphone to rca plug to test it out since I have some music on it? Is that what you were suggesting? Im not sure how it willl sound as my eq on the phone will be minimal, but I could try it.

Well to test you don't need much...you just want to see if it plays without causing the issues "speakers starting making a loud hissing noise/ engine whine noise.". If the sound is replicated loud hissing or engine noise, then it is not the deck that is causing the issues.

And of course if it plays clean, then most likely everything else is fine. And the deck is most likely the issue.

This is what I was after.
