i think what it is is that on the hiway in the morning i try to get this station out of chi town, so the further away i get the louder and louder i get it...and its wrecking the deck. it doesnt seem to be _as bad_ with just the cd player, but i think shes coughing her way out regardless Could it have to do with the RCAs crossing in the back? ive got my amp/sub out right now so theyre all coiled up and could be knicking one another.
