Check the RCA cable is not shorted to power ground at amplifier side.
Check the amplifier grounding.
Distorted sound
Check that the Input level control is set to match the signal level of the head
unit. Always try to set the Input level as low as possible.
Check that all crossover frequencies are properly set.
Check for short circuits on the speaker leads.
