well im running the LC6 aswell, i get the hiss aswell but i put my gains on lower so its not noticeable. what i reckon its the lc6. i went to another audio shop and they told me to go back to where i got it from and get the lc7 thats a new one.

but if you try it and find a solution to solve the hiss with the lc6 im interested =)

Just change the headunit, my static noise is gone after using an aftermarket headunit now. And also the sound quality is MUCH better with the new headunit. My setup is Focal Access Splits front and Focal Access 6x9 rear. No more noise, tighter bass and crisper sound even with EQ off. I see you have a point in wanting to keep the stock HU but also consider if you get an aftermarket HU you can plug your ipod or mp3 there

I don't think that it is a fault with the LC6 considering you and I have a very similar set up and a similar problem. It is more likely to be a ground loop. Do you ever have a whistle through your tweeters that changes pitch with RPM?

LC7 is the exact same as the LC6 except with iPod input. You can get a Dension unit which does this straight into your HU that will use your steering wheel controls.

What I think the hiss is coming from is the difference in potential between the stock HU, the LC6 and your amps. I'm not sure how long you ground is from your amp + LC6 but because it's not grounded where your HU is, this might be causing the hiss. I'm thinking of going the cheap way out and buying an external sound card for my G4 and running RCAs instead of using any LOC. I will try to find out how to fix the problem first but at the end of the day, stock HUs are simply not designed to be amplified.

I dunno if this would help, but i've found a site that seemed thorough!

it might be, my set up is, the lc6 is pretty much next to my amps. i'll take a photo of it tommorow and show you guys. if i change my head unit id want a double din of some sort =/. thats why.

run the RCA Cables seperate from the battery cable

[ouch]

bump this thread up.

i was wondering if anyone can help me with my static. when the gains are up (any gain) there is static. the higher the gain, the louder the static. there is static as soon as the HU turns on and keeps constant until the music drones it out.

and how does one tell when the speakers are pushed into clipping?

[ouch]

someone help?

someone help?

check your ground cable and power cable arent too close together from your amp. that can cause static

someone help?

Hey man, i had this problem on my Pioneer Headunit a while back. First things first, try a better quality aux cable.. if you haven't. What i did was take out my headunit again, check that all the connections were soldered and stable, then retaped them again. Go for thicker electrical tape because it does get hot behind the headunit and you don't really want bad connections.. could shortcircuit your car. Hope this helps =]

As with the clipping, don't go there =P just invest in a higher powered amp and save yourself frustration later!

Afaik, It's either interference or a grounding issue.
Make sure your amp is grounded properly, make sure it's metal contact (so you don't have the cable attached to paint. if it is on paint, file the paint down, and put the cable back)
As for interference: make sure your power cable and rca's are in different sides of the car... Doesn't always make it happen, but it can be a caused sometimes.
Power and ground together won't do much.. it'd be signal interference.

But yeah, check those things, come back and tell if it's still there. If so, check the headunit.
