[QUOTE="shadyyy, post: 8821580, member: 687346"] Maybe so, I'm certainly no technician. I did read that, it does not hurt to clean it up a little bit with Q-tips and isopropyl alcohol, very lightly. I went ahead and cleaned it, there was certainly some corrosion on some of the components inside the amp. Not banking on that, but, I figured it wouldn't hurt. Now, as far as that signal cable, what would cause that to create the noises I'm hearing? I'm asking out of curiosity of course. The signal wire is spliced to reach the amp, because at one time it got pulled out, and was too short to go back into its rightful position. I'm running an 18 ga wire as a jumper from the speaker amp to the sub amp. It does show 14.xx volts but, I'm wondering now if that splice isn't creating issues? [/QUOTE]
