You were on such a roll, you know, me suggesting something for you to try, and you trying it and posting back what you found. Then we got to the second step of the process, remember the part about reconnecting the RCA cables back to the amp and then switching them at the output of the EQ, remember all that? What happened when you switched the cables behind the EQ?

i found out on of the rca's was not connected to the EQ. sorry! i hear music from all 4 speakers now. but the only problem is and it bugs be a lot, i hear hissing noises from my rear speakers. i cant hear it a lot when the volume is all the way down. and every time i take out the key or whenever the 4-channel amp turns off, i hear some kink of popping noise from the rears speakers. also they move while it makes that popping noise. i heard that it is normal if hissing noise occurs, but when i have the volume all the way down its really irritating.

Several weeks ago, I suggested that you remove the EQ from the circuit to see if that got rid of the noises. Did you ever do that? If so, what did you figure out?

what do you have the remote wire from the amp hooked up to? you might just need to move your remote wire to a different turn on wire like an ignition or accessory wire in the car.

try turning the gain down on the amp to get rid of the hissing sound. my guess is that you have a 4 channel amp and the rear speakers are turned up more than the front speakers so you only hear hissing out of the rear speakers. if that doesn't work then try lowering the master volume on your EQ and either turn your radio up a little more or give your amp a little more gain( and i mean little) to compensate for the loss of volume from the eq.

I still bet it's a bad ground issue, either the amplifier ground, the HU ground, the EQ ground, the engine ground strap or a speaker wire that's grounded.
