CB Static caused by sub woofer...

Hello.

I've read the forums and did not come across a situation similar to what I'm experiencing. Here goes.

Affected Components:
  1. Cobra 75 WX ST
  2. Jeep, CoolTech license plate antenna mount
  3. 4 foot adjustable Firestick antenna
  4. JL Audio 10" sub woofer in a ported MDF enclosure
  5. Kicker 400.1 amplifier

Tuning:
SWR has been adjusted with values that fall within the acceptable range.

Connections:
The CB power is hooked up directly to a switched slot in the fuse box and the ground is going to the ground post by the passenger's feet. The amplifier is wired directly to the battery with the ground going to a well prepped location in the cargo area.

Interference:
I'm receiving static interference through my CB electronics and/or antenna when my after market subwoofer plays bass notes. If I turn off my stereo the static goes away. It's obvious that the issue has something to do with the subwoofer as the static is in perfect time with the beat of the music; when a bass note hits there is static.

Additionally, I do not believe it is a power interference issue since the antenna cable is routed on the driver's side while the amplifier power cable is on the passenger side. I think it's also important to state that I experienced the same sort of interference in my other vehicle so this isn't just a Jeep problem.

My question is if anyone here has experienced this problem and figured out a solution? I'm assuming that the subwoofer or amplifier is creating an electrical field that the antenna is picking up, hence the static when the subwoofer hits.

Any ideas would be appreciated. If it's your opinion that I just need to deal with it then let me know that as well.

Thanks.
