hey everyone!
i dont have a camry but i do have a 93 Lexus ES300.

im having a problem with my RFI after installing my pioneer headunit and subwoofers. its really unbearable.

i was wondering if anyone knew how to get rid of it or make it less annoying than it is.

thanks

Run your RCA cables on the opposite side of the car than the power cable.
Make sure you have good grounds.

do you recomend taking the ground from my amp and grounding it straight to the battery?

NO!

Insure that you have a clean ground from the amp to the frame (i.e. scrape off any paint at the connection surface) with the shortest length cable possible.

Also make sure that your battery is properly grounded to your frame.

try grounding the RCAs on the back of the head unit... pretty common issue with pioneer HUs...
