amp wont turn off

  If you were not able to reach your desired listening level, you would want to turn the gain up till you begin to hear the whining, then back it down till it goes away

I guess while overlooking I am an idiots advice and mine as well regarding gain. That you also have not read the HOW TO SET YOUR GAINS! link i posted either.

Baby steps.

once you have this done that. Click the like I provided above. Read it over really well. There is a special section just for EQ gain you should make note of. Read the first post of it over and over till it makes 100% sense to you. If you have questions feel free to ask. Once you have a good grasp on what is being cover in the How to set your gains topic. Then you can go about starting from scratch to get all your gains matched as they should be. It is very important that you know and understand just what a gain is and it purpose first though.

dang. still here whining noises even if i put the gain to the first notch/mark. i here it more on the road driving. its annoying when i turn the volume down all the way down and hear music from my left front speaker. not sure about the setting my EQ. all i do is set my headunit to volume 25/35.

the zx line of amplifer will take 5volts of rca input. What are the chances your EQ is giving that much or more at the current settings? If you are feeding 5 volts or more. The gain may not have to move at all from all the way down to achieve full output. Again read the how to set gain topic.

There is a problem with the front left channel of your EQ.  (Or that is just the only speaker you can hear the noise in because you are closer to it than the others)  Can I ask why we do not just use the volume control on the radio itself?  I bet you 1000 dollars that if you turn that volume all the way down, there will be no music coming from any speaker in the car.  About the position of the Gain adjustment on the amp:  Are your intentions to stay in the trunk and look at where the gain knob is positioned, or to listen to your system without noise?  You can only choose 1 answer.  Whichever choice you do not make, you have to let go and let God take care of and worry about why that one is that way.

anytime man youve helped me more than once, I too have that hard headed approach to things but with time i have learned to listen to experience and learn from wisdom, I still make things more complicated than they really are sometimes though.progress not perfection.-A vision without a plan is just a hallucination-

Remember when I said "a magic EQ you say"? While an EQ can be a useful tool if used correctly. Most the time they are not. Also by adding an EQ you are adding yet one more thing to introduce noise into the system.

i should toss the eq huh? how about the remote wire and speaker wire next to the power wires, can that make the noise occur? because the speaker wire or my speakers inside the car and the remote wire for my mono amp is very close to the power wire.
