Are Ground loop isolators any good???

I have a terrible engine wine plus my subs are rumbling. Will the isolators stop or cover up the problem?

You should be able to remedy the problem without it IMO

Also, before double checking grounds to amps and re-routing RCA's, you might want to hook a speaker that might be laying around directly to the HU (instead of through an amp) if that is easy for you to do. If you get the noise from a speaker directly attached to the HU then get rid of that noise BEFORE trying to troubleshoot anything connected via RCA cables.

I had a ground loop isolator in my car before. It covered up the rumbling sound but it took away ALOT of bass from my subwoofers. I found that out one day when I unhooked it to see if I could fix my ground or change it. Turns out the problem was my pioneer head unit that I used to have.
