I just moved my subwoofer. When turned on I am hearing a radio station. I have tried with and without a cheater plug. I have also made sure outlet was grounded. I tried a couple diffrent outlets and have found I get this problem in all except the outlet it was originally in. It stops picking up the radio station if I change the crossover to "in" (Using the subs crossover instead of the receiver) or DC the sub cable. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like one of your cables is acting like an antenna.
I believe Alan had a post about that some time ago.
Try searching for some key words like 'radio' or 'antenna' and see what comes up.

Sounds like a job for a Faraday cage!

So basically you buy a bunch of wire mesh and completely wrap your sub with it. No radio waves will be able to penetrate it, but it might look ugly.
