Static in speakers
Here's my set up
Head Unit
Pioneer Premier DEH-P490ib with I-Pod adapter in glove box
Front Speakers
Infinity Reference 6020CS
Rear Speakers
Stock Monsoon (factory subs are disconnected)
Sub
MTX Thunderform Subwoofer and Box (10" MTX 4500 sub)
Amp
Sony 4 channel 600watt amp
I've had the head unit for a little over 3 months and no problems. I installed everything else just after Christmas. There is static, very light, in my speakers. I've double checked the grounds, ran rca and power on opposite sides of the car. I don't know what else it could be. If I turn the stereo up loud the "s" and "t" are almost painful. I have to set my high's to a -2 on my stereo to sound right.
Other than the static everything sounds awesome.
Any ideas or suggestions

I used the Infinity Crossovers. They're mounted on the inside of the rear passenger panel. I don't know what else could be causing the static. I may try a different ground location this weekend.

This is what I have. RCA cables from Head Unit to Amp. Speaker Cable out of Amp into Infinity Crossover "In". Cable out of "WF" to Midbass and cable out of "TW" to tweeter. Is this not correct. Here's a linkt to the speakers.

Sorry..you have that correct I didn't see the Sony 4-channel amp...I kept thinking you were still on the Monsoon amp even though it clearly states you aren't.
I would try lightly moving the wires on the amp to see if this makes the static worse. I would also move the RCA's a bit to see if this affects anything as well. Don't shake the heck out of em or anything (lol!!) but move em side to side and see if you get anything. Also check and see if your getting any static from the sub as it wouldn't be as noticeable since it is just bass. If you are it may just be the amp. Overall it sounds like you have a decent system. I'll keep thinking on this one.

make sure that your RCA's arent running over a ground wire or power wire, i always make sure my wires dont overlap because interference has been known to happen because of this.
