guys.. my original hu when this problem started was the Pioneer Premier 670.. then me and a friend switched hu's and he has the 6700, so keep in mine this is a completely different hu.. both are basically brand new.. anyway.. yeah im using the ground from the stock wiring.. i will make a new ground and ground it to the car.. if that happends to work, i may see if my old Premier will work. if not then.. i really honestly dont know.. i dont want to buy a new cd player(880prs
) and it mess up too.. or the problem happends again.. i want to figure this out first.. maybe the 670/6700 have crap circuitry? i dont know.. but this sucks.. the thing with it this time is.. there isnt vocals coming out of the sub, but its staticy and now my components have no vocals at all really.... im goin to move my amps around and try new grounds and see what i come up with.. ill keep you updated.. its a great day out.. a fixed stereo will make it even better..

Make sure your RCA's are touching any metal anywhere that they shouldn't too

guys... i havent had a chance to take everything out and look it over, but i will soon... for some reason.. on the back of my hu(this happend with both) the part where all the wires come out of, gets REALLY REALLY hot.. to where you cant touch it.. and im not sure why.. its well ventilated, and i think theres more to it than a ventilation problem, but im not sure what.. also.. i was thinking.. i have a remote wire ran from my 600.1 to the 180.2, im goin to run seperate remotes and see if that can do anything.. and... well im not sure what else yet.. but ill update..

i doubt the remotes have anything to do with it and hus get really hot. are you sure everything else is wired correctly?

im sure, but as i said im going to be taking all the wiring out and re-doing it.. maybe its a voltage issue? i dont know.. i know when we first got the car.. the stock stereo would Always be on, it wouldnt shut off.. but mine doesnt do that.. so i dont know..

yay for 900 posts!!... well.. im goin to relocate the crossovers today.. they are up by the firewall.. im thinkin maybe since the power wires are so close to one of them, maybe its crossing signals.. so.. we will see.

Crossovers can induce noise into your signal wires, but I don't think anything can happen by putting power/crossover next to each other.
You could try checking all your ground's resistance with a multimeter, just to make sure they're good (although, from what I understand, not a dead-certain way to tell if they're good or not).
Let us know how your re-wiring goes and if it solves any problems.

I might be wrong, but I have always heard not to but the crossover next to power or ignition wires. I don't really see a problem having them next to signal wires.
