I adjusted the gains accordingly and I still get the same hiss. Also a slight popping noise, Very minor, So that tells me it's a ground loop.

If it tells you it's a gound loop, it is lying.

Instead of using your RCA remote wire for power, use it to ground all of the chassis of your equipment together, starting with the head unit.....then run a seperate Remote wire.

DO NOT confuse this advice by connecting this wire to MAIN GROUNDS....just exterior of each...er...box.
