[QUOTE="smashedpumpkins, post: 7716967, member: 603266"] Yeah I know I'm going to get some smack for this but I cut off the plastic and took half the copper to one amp and half to the other. My power wire has a splitter though that I moved from my old system. I must have missed the splittler for the ground. This is my first real heavy install so I'm pretty new to everything. The power splitter goes from 0 gauge to a higher gauge. (Wish I could tell you the gauge but I don't have a clue... Just a bit smaller) So I figured splitting the 0 gauge ground in half was pretty equivalent? Maybe not though... Would a too weak ground cause the noise? Like I mentioned in the first post, I checked the voltage at the battery and at the terminals to the amp and it's equal. I thought this meant I had a good ground? [/QUOTE]
