New boat. Fully loaded but stock system featuring Sony HU, 2 Kicker amps, Kicker Sub, bunch of 6.5" Kickers and 4 6x9s on the Blade tower. Ugly noises from day 1 that dealer has been slow to diagnose/do anything with. With boat off and key in either the accessory or ignition position, with no volume, on any input source, a morse code-like ticking from all speakers....3 separate ticks...followed by 4-5 rapid fire ticks...then the 3 original ticks again...repeats over and over again. With the boat running....the sound is much worse...almost feedback-like coming with a high pitch coming thru the speakers...don't really notice when you are under way..but sitting at idle it will drive you crazy. I tried running new RCA cables across the cabin to see if the problem was the RCAs picking up juice...no dice. Dealer is going to swap the head unit out to rule that out and then we'll try the amps. Any ideas? Dealer's audio guy says he has never heard anything like it but at the same time hasn't gotten his hands dirty pulling things apart to better diagnose the situation....any ideas would greatly be appreciated.
