If you have a speker connected to the HU, theres no kore to say, if you can hear the static, is in your HU, that means your engine is not running, your car switch is in off position, what means theres no power on the cars PCM, so, theres other thing to check up?

Now if you plug your component speakers to your amp, and bridge the REM, and plug your iPod to the amplifier, you are using an external source right? the engine is not running a theres no power on the cars PCM, and theres static, probably you can blame the amplifier...

BUT, you told us theres no rca, theres no signal on the amplifier, but if if you wanna feel like a sure, go a short the amplifier RCA inputs, i think you know how to do that.

Even i gave you a link with the Audiocotrol's techpaper to troubleshoot your system. I think you already have done that, don't you?

Well, test again, and again, if tha static comes from both channels, probably can be a loose solder inside the HU, but as I told you, I'll put my money on the Faulty HU possibility...

I dont quite understand what your saying. My front components are amped, and with no connection to the headunit (RCA's unplugged), and I can still hear the static in them . Wouldn't that rule out the headunit as the problem?

So i supposed to misunderstand u, you can hear static from the component speakers, most blame the amplifier, otherwise yor system chain is too small, and theres no processors in the path...

I did read that you already checked with a Multimeter that theres no wires touchin metal, or broken, so if you have done everything right on the connection side, and the statics is no because the sens settings.

It's your amplifier, No HU in the chain, cars switch in off position, and you can hear static? put your amplifier's RCA inputs in short with a short plugs, that meas 0 signal in the input, if still theres static, is a problem on the amplifier power supply.

So test again, describe all the the process again step by step, if you like of course... or meet me on msn, im online right now...

cheers

Can you explain how to test the amp power supply a little more?

Mmm, sorry for the late answer, but if you are not a technician forget about messing with your amp,first tellme if you already followed the tech paper instruction one by one... Just to be sure before you take your amp to service
