Guys does the PICO fuse blowing apply for the 110/120/130?

 

If so, does the grounding of the RCAs work? If it does, how do we ground it if the RCAs are on the pigtail?

someone chime in if the z130bt has this same problem. because then i wont buy it. i tried grounding the rca's on my D3, it didnt work. i ended up using 2 scoshe ground loop isolators that i got at walmart. 1 for front and 1 for rear. they worked well actually. took the whine down by 95%.

 

you cant hear it now unless the volume is at 0 and i floor the car and try to listen. but i would not but a new z130bt if i had to do the same solution. i would just go with the kenwood dnx7180.

king does yours have your pre amps on the pigtail or attached to the unit?

 

Im so close to returning this unit. i have an alpine cda9855 that was my older one. if I hook that up and get no whine this piece of crap is going back
