it sounds like maybe one of your rca cables isn't pushed on all the way?? just a guess. Because the metal ring around the pole shaped piece on the rca in your ground.

Sounds like they could be right. Although, do you think it is possible that you might have smashed or pierced on of your RCA's during the install?
