Here's how the story ended. The original noise on a scale of 1 to 100 would have been a 20. A Noise filter was installed close to the amp. That brought the noise down to a 1. Any sort of volume increase above none made it unhearable. Case closed! Rick

You assume correctly about it being a 4 channel amp COO. Max volume is irrelevant other than if you turn the amp enough, it drowns out the hum. Don't know about the wires used for the speakers as it was done at a local shop, who has never seen this problem before BTW and these guys have been...

Not an alternator hum. It's steady and low but noticeable. No noise in Park as the subject title says. The HU is an Alpine and the amp is Kenwood. What's wrong? Rick

My trunk space is precious! Subs gobble up space so no sub there please! Under the rear seat is a bit of space so something has to fit there. Anyways, that's my thoughts FWIW. Rick

Thanks for the info Neo! I looked at the JL website and saw they had another thin sub which was even smaller. The SI BM MKIII is out of production but the company says they're going to have a new model out later on. Between 2m SSB gear and a sub, I have lots of Santa list stuff to get as the...

Doh! I don't know. Just figured someone here has done it and knew what the deal is for these GM FWD's of that time. Rick

Not much room to work with inside the Caddy but my thought was to stick a thin sub under the back seat. Anyone here have ideas on this? Having been gone so long I have no idea of what's available or been tried so Help Me Wanda...LOL! Rick

I like your post! Thanks for explaining what JL is about. Rick

You got a decent price and if you like the sounds coming from it, then it's an all's well than ends well situation. Declare victory and hit the road! After a few months of using your new system and reading posts here as well as what is in mobile audio magazines, you'll have some new ideas for...

The HU choice is about what kind of stuff you want to feed into the amp. AM/FM? HD Radio? Satellite? CD's? DVD's? iPods? Memory sticks? Memory cards? Do you want to add some DIN 1/2 accessories like EQ's, voltmeters, DVD players and such? Do you want a screen? A nav system? Perhaps a...

Where's the "Buy A Cadillac" option? Rick

Adjusting a knob while driving is MUCH easier than dealing with HU menus. I have an Alpine parametric EQ and it's great! Rick

$32K saws...my friend in Seattle worked at a shop that had a $250K waterjet cutter. He used it to build a mechanical owl...LOL! At least the owl worked but Lordy, it sure costs a lot to get a good set of shop tools to build things these days. Rick

Better go with DC instead of an AC setting...LOL! Oh heck, who cares whether those cycles alternate or not? Rick

Can you really afford to try "something new" is the next question. Will you be better off saving the money or the debt load for later on? Can you find something today that won't lose a buttload in depreciation when the time for the Charger comes along? How much are you willing to spend (cash...
