Hey guys today I was driving along and as I was stopping for a red light all of a sudden my sub kicked in in a constant tone and was uncontrollable by any means I pulled over and disconnected the rca's from the ampbut would s till get some noise as I was braking , if I plug the rca's back in I just get this real loud constant note that I can't do anything about . Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to what this could be? I've checked all the connections , ground, rca's, remote, power and speaker wiring and have come up with nothing. PLEASE HELP thanks =)

Your rca's could be bad. If you know anything about home stereo, when you plugging in your A/V's to your receiver and you touch the ends of them (Red or White) they send out the test tone signal. This is normal for home audio but extremely irregular for cars. I would get some new RCA's. I had a friend experience the same problem with a kicker amp and some L7's, but we said hell with it and got him a MEMPHIS mojo amp and 2 15'' LSW's and rocked the house, along with a new set of MONSTER rca's.Good luck

Sounds like its in your RCA's.  Look where the RCA connects to the deck.  I would pull them in and turn down the gain when you are looking, this way when you find it, it will be obvious.  If it does not seem to be related to your deck, look at the cable, make sure it is not pinched, cut, or otherwise damaged.  If you have another set, run them from your deck to the amp and plug those in, no need to install them, just run them to the amp and deck.  If the problem still exists it probably originates from the deck.  I dont think that is the case though.
