the amps are grounded to underneath the rear seat.  i checked the resistance between the amp ground and the battery ground and it  is .8 ohms and the resistance between the deck ground and the battery ground is .8 ohm also the resistance between the battery negative post and the chassis is also .8 ohm.  Do you think i should run a new ground between the engine and the chassis

what i did for now is just use the inputs out of the deck to the speakers and of course no noise. just so i could get the guy on his way for the weekend and get him back next week.  The rca cables are out of the equation cause i tried new ones draped over the seat.  that too would eliminate the routing of wires. ground checks out. So with that being said you would think it is the deck or amp?

No i didnt have another deck in stock i could test it with.  Next week i guess.    Pioneer is really that bad ?  You think it is the deck?

why are you running your ground wire out to the engine bay.  Should be no problem in that car to run ground inside car...if you want to though you will have to drill your own hole and put a grommet in if you are running a large ground wire through.  where did you hook your power wire to?

Thanks forbidden, Apparently the deck wasnt grounded properly so after a while i guess it did something to the deck. After using another deck the ground noise was COMPLETELY gone. Thanks!!

Hey guys i got a problem with my ground i think.... i hooked up an amp and 2 subs in my car and it wasnt bumping like it should. When i got to messing around i found out when i take the ground wire off for a few seconds and ground it again it will bump loud like it should for a few seconds, then i will go back to hardly making any noise out of the subs.... i have tried diffrent grounds and everywere i try it the same thing happens... any one ever had this problem??

I was using a mulitmeter on my car, and when i touch it to the +12 to my amp, after the fuse from the batterie, it gives me a reading of like 1volt. But before the fuse, it gives me a +12.
And how do i measure the ground? I was told to switch to OHM mode and touch the black to the ground, and the red to the same part, that dosen't sound right.
Thanks a lot guys.

are you reffering to me?
If so, I don't have a whine problem, I have a question about my +12 line and ground.
