I will probably remove the cap, I just put in a new HO Alternator from DB Electrical last week so I really don't need it, it's been there since my last setup.

I think the problem was solved....I was tuning with engine off and my Optima got drained, amp wasn't getting enough voltage obviously. This amp sure is power hungry.

I ordered 2 SSD's on May 29th and they arrived today. My UPS tracking number said "billing info received" for 8 days before an actual delivery date was posted. It took 14 total days from the time I ordered till I got them, not bad imo since they build to order.

Ok, after turning it on again without the DMM the noise is a constant buzz (very very faint) as I turn volume up the buzz or hum starts to crackle, but it does not go away even at no volume (the crackle goes away as volume is decreased) .

It's not a squeal, it's more of a cracking or popping sound, sort of like a bad connection popping, but real faint sounding. I'll go look everything over again but I'm confident everything is right. BTW, I'm using a 50Hz tone and the DMM is connected to the outside terminals.

No speaker has ever been hooked up to it, just DMM. My Fi's won't be in until later today. I'm trying to get it tuned before they arrive.

It sounds like it.
