but i'm still surprised at how many people dont know that 
If you suspect your RCA's are getting interference then try and wrap them in aluminum foil and see if it blocks the interference...could save you some cash, why replace if they are not the problem

Replacing them doesnt cost much.. Having a part time job at Best Buy gives a hell of a discount on cables.. I paid 5 bucks per set. The other good thing is I try out different things before buying them so if its not the rca's, I'll try something else.. We usually have extra laying around the shop and it helps to troubleshoot..

The ground loop isolators suggested by others are for removing 60 Hz noise and there's no such thing in a boat.
Do not wrap your cables in tin foil. That's really ghetto and will do no good.
People always misunderstand the purpose of grounding (and there's no such thing in a boat).

Okay so the pop came back after I removed what I thought was the bad amp. Luckily I didn't make it far enough to purchase new amps. Nighthawk, can you please tell me more about this capacitor please?

I found this link through another forum. Is this what you are referring to?

Okay so I went to Radio Shack today and got these
http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2103625
It was a little over $6 because I had to get 2 for the trim control on the throttle and 2 for the transom trim switch. I wired them in and the popping stopped completely. Thanks again guys for all of your time and help.

Haven't checked in for a few days. Glad to hear that fixed it. The noise filter link I sent you in my first post is nothing more than a capacitor and series inductor in a nice package but just a capacitor usually does the trick.
