Here we go.  I had nothing wired to the front channels on my amp, an my front 6x8's on the rears.  However, I noticed that I had RCA's going into the Front Input, but not the rear.  I switched the RCA's around, and now the static is sort of gone.  There is still a small hint of it, but not nearly as much (it does increase I think as I turn my stereo up, but could be result of bad 6x8's.  Not entirely sure if they are bad or not).

But how is it possible for me even to receive sound on the front if the RCA's were switched?  If my front rca's were plugged in, with nothing wiring to the front channels, I dont get how it works....

An my ground for my deck.  BBY has my ground wire looping around my remote, an both went under the carpet, along the driver side, to the amp.  Should I switch that deck ground to another place?  Looks like they used a small wire for that ground too, not sure if that matters...

it sounds as though they ran a ground back to the amp to have the deck and amp grounded at the same place to try and resolve a noise issue.  This is normally something that is done as a fix rather then something done at the installation.  Are you sure that you are not looking at the rca cable that the remote is wrapped around?

As for the input idunno?  Some amps have settings on the side to allow you to sample one input off of another but I am not sure which you had.  Did BBY send the car out that way?

It is not an RCA, It is ground, I followed all the way to the ground section of the amp.  So I got a thick ground goin to my car and a small ground going to my deck.
