I could be any number of things. They'll have to try a few things to know for sure. I'm betting your RCA still has a lot to do with it. That and/or a ground issue somewhere.

i turned the gain down some, we'll see how that goes and i'll see if it decides to come back... if its that doesn't fix it i'll check the ground.

My gain was on full, thats how the shop set it.

I truned it all the way down and it was gone. Now I turned it to about half and the sound is still there but you have to really be looking for it to notice.

Do you know how to use a DMM? If so, you can be a lot more acurate with setting the gain. Just follow the JL Audio tutorial. If you need help, we'll help you.

No I dont know how to use a DMM, do I have to buy it?

Do you think it's normal that the sound is there because of the gain control? Or should I get it fixed?

I'd say you still have a problem that needs to be fixed. Typically a grounding issue somewhere. Or maybe just really cheap RCAs. If you spent $1.25 on your RCA from Radio Shack, you're hurting. lol.

The RCAs came from KnuKonceptz eko 4AWG kit.

The RCA is ran with the power wire. I think that's the first step to fixing this.
