I have a solobaric sub with a kicker amp hooked up to my deck but seem to be having grounding issues in the deck. The deck grounds itself through the antenna for some reason?This is causing lots of static through the sub.Is there anyhthing I can install inline like a filter???

Your deck should grounding through the ground wire of the radio's harness, not the antenna. How do you have your head unit wired? Are you using a wire harness adapter and going through the factory radio plug for power/accessory/ground? Using an adapter harness should greatly reduce the possibility of a poor ground.

And not to sound like "that guy" what is the static you're referring too? The same static that you'd get from a door speaker and a poor fm station or like a constant hum sound? A little more descriptive if you could please.
