Randy, from what you've described it appears that the front subs and the satellite aren't grounded at the same spot, and that's forming a loop. Using cheater plugs on one or both of the front subs would be a quick fix until the trouble with the satellite was hopefully corrected by them. The sub amp chassis would be ungrounded if the screw was removed. The screw would connect the chassis to the shield of the sub cable and provide a somewhat effective chassis ground through that route.
