Default 2001 gs430 ML stereo HELP!!!

Alright guys i tried doing some research on the problem im having with my ML stereo but i didn't have any luck finding a solution. been having this problem for almost 2 weeks now and each day just seems to get worst.

Problem: Static and speaker popping going around all speakers. Mostly sounds like it stays on the drivers side. the static sound isnt like static you would get from bad radio signal but more of like an electrical charge of some sort. then it would pop and all speaker sound goes away.

Things ive tried: looked for a loose ground but couldnt find any. turning off and on the whole car (engine and accessories) but only works as a temporary fix. thought it would be a loose wire from the amp all wires plugged in. fuses all good.

all the speakers work fine when it is actually working. im pretty sure its a ground i just dont know where to look.

please show me some CL love and help me out somebody anybody everybody
i cant stand this annoying *&$@ anymore lol.

Sadly, not if you are out of warranty. The 2001 model amps have a lot of issues, its the same in the LS.
