[QUOTE="stones, post: 1048652, member: 540734"] Here is a few things to try yourself. Take a small length of thin speaker wire and solder it to the negative spades on one end of the RCA's then grond the wires to the chassis of the amp or headunit depending on which end you soldered(you can just wrap the wires around the RCA cables spades if you dont have the stuff to solder). Ground the HU and the amp/s to the small place to share a common ground. Connect a wire to the head units chassis then connect it to the amplifier chassis. Heres some info on what ground loops are and how to fix them, they talk in terms of home audio but the principals are still the same.
