Yea, i think im just gonna **** it up and use an ground isolator for now and maybe take it to a shop if i ever have the money for it.

I know just need to find the time. IIRC, i tried running a wire between the HU ground and amp ground when i was first installing but i dont remember for what reason.

I need to take off the console to get to where its grounded.

The problem is finding the time to take the console off, its ***** in my car dismantling everything.

how do you ground the rcas to the amp? Solder a wire to the outer shield of the rca to any point on the amp? Could I ground it to the same point the amp is grounded? gonna be a son of a ***** to run a wire up there.

Nope I lied, noise is still there....fUUUUUUUCKKKK

I think wrapping the RCA's worked! Gotta take it for a ride but i think its gone and was able to raise my amp up finally.

HU is grounded directly, im not using a harness. Im gonna be giving the RCA grounding a try.

ok thanks, i gotta lot of things to try. Will test them out his weekend and report. Thanks.

A4 I guess ill give wrapping the RCA's a try so long as it cant cause no harm, righ?

No, since I hacked up the wiring and didn't use a harness its not really an option since I can't plug and play. I know at least it wasn't there with the stock receiver before I upgraded.

No, meaning I took the head unit out of the equation.

Yea I'm close to buying a ground loop isolator but I don't want to lose SQ since I did upgrade the system for SQ. What about noise surpressor?

Im sick of it. I spent a whole week tearing my car apart, made my own RCA's with the shield grounded at one end, have an apline 9887 and rockford 4 channel hooked up with power ran down one side and rca's down the other and 4 gauge wire ran from the battery to power the amp. For most of the...
