Default Noise from DD B3

Hi everyone,
Just curious if anyone out there has any issues with the DD B3's. When I turn on the radio, there is a tick or something like a pop noise from the B3's. Also, when the volume is at 0 with no music playing it makes a humming noise. B3's are running off a SD250.2, amp grounded to battery, and remote is coming off XD600. Thank you.

Run your remote wire from the source, not jumped out of the other amp.

also where is the ground point for the 250? try to either ground it at a ground bus bar or somehow on it's own, mine has a very slight hum that i'm pretty sure is from the fan motor and how i have it grounded.

Is the 250 power hooked straight to the battery?
