so i got a new amp wiring kit for x-mas and hooked it all up and ended up replacing both terminals and my battery ground wire

and i now have a few problems i havent had before..

• when i turn the volume from 01 or 00 the speakers pop once
• when i turn the shit on 00 volume or pause, there is still a quiet, rapid beat coming from the subs
• when i turn the subwoofers "off" from the deck, they dont turn off
• and now i have alternator hum coming out of my subs even when the volume is at nothing. and it goes away when i unplug the small wire that goes from the amp to the deck (the really small one thats like a 14 or 16 gauge)

i couldnt find any pos/neg wires that are touching at all, everythings hooked up right. i mean, when i was puting it all together tehre was a couple times when i grounded out a pos for a split second or somethin, but thats it.

if anyone has any idea what could be wrong, please post here.
and if it would be easier to do this over the phone ill call ya up so you could help me troubleshoot

you ran your power cable next to your rca cable. they need to be on diff sides of the vehical

nope. they are on complete opposite sides.
only place they are crossing is where i pulled them through the seat. but that never made a difference before

hrrmm weird problem.

/is the amp brand new?

no its old. its i think the 2nd series rockford fosgate amp (out of 4 or 5 series)

Rockford is a good amp but I think you should try using a different amp. Maybe you have something laying around or a friend has something you could swap it with to see if that fixes the problem.

actually my friend gave me a 400 watt 4 channel amp the other day that i could try
