[QUOTE="AlterEgo99, post: 5938641, member: 610253"] OK, I think I need to shorten up the grounds for the two amps. They are located in the center console but my ground point for them is up hear the gas pedal. It's only about 4 feet, but it is probably too long and both amps are grounded to that point. I think I can use some of the bolts at the rear of the front seats. That would only be about a 1 or 2 foot run for each amp. Separate ground points for each amp, correct? Also, just to clarify, are you suggesting that I make sure that the amps are not screwed down in such a way that there is a ground via that attachment point? If so, yeah, I may need to check that as well, but I know that when I initially checked for this whine I had yet to actually mount the amps. After mounting the noise didn't seem to get any worse, but I will check it. [/QUOTE]
