This can cause the amp to turn on before the HU sends signal to the RCA causing a power-up pop. Likewise, the amp may stay on longer than the HU causing a power-down pop when the RCA loses signal from the HU.

I thought you had this figured out....
there are only two possibilities for turn off pop as far as I am concearned.... either the amp is making the pop because it sees signal as it shuts down, or the deck/EQ sends out a pop as it shuts down....
rig your amp so it stays on by jumping power to the remote turn on... if this solves the problem you need a delay to keep the amp turned on for a moment while the deck and EQ shut down...
If it dosen't you need a relay that kills the RCA connection as the deck and EQ shut down.....

so the power was cut out befor the deck powered down and a pop is sent out the the amps

if you are saying you had the switched turn on lead and power wire going into the deck reversed.... that will definatly cause a pop as you take away 12v power.....
I doubt it had anything to do with when the amp was switched on or off....
next time check your wiring first...
