[QUOTE="ccajun4real, post: 2158306, member: 569654"] I have spent almost a month sawing, carpeting, wiring, more wiring etc LOL Today I finally got everything connected turn the key over and ****[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif[/IMG] Serious engine noise! It seems to be an issue with the RCA connector sending engine noise but I used the same RCA to connect my sub amp when I was only using one amp for a 10" MB Q sub. There was no noise then but I did re-route the RCA behind the head unit to get some more length out of it. Could the issue be the routing behind the head unit? I am also having issues with one of the amps. When I turn on power I can hear it reset and it gave a slight pop. I turned the power off immediately. I have tested the power and ground on all amps and they are all getting good batt power and ground through the distribution blocks. I found one of the + wires loose to the crossover and it might have been contacting the - terminal of the crossover. Would this cause the amp to act like that? This is the first stereo project of this magnitude that I have attempted and although I am pretty handy in general I am by no means an expert with this stuff. I am running the power, ground and remote all through 1 in 4 out distribution blocks and am daisy chaining two amps per RCA interconnect. Below is a graphic of what I have. Thanks for any help.
