[QUOTE="pavengmike6, post: 414079, member: 553009"] My first question would be are you getting wine through your subs or your mids and highs? Alternator wine comes from a number of areas. It is usually the amplification of an outside electircal source being inputed into your amps. This will usually happen when you run your RCA's and speaker wire near your power wire. If you RCAS and speaker wire are run on the same side of the car, I would move them. I would have no less than 1 foot of distance between the power and the other wires. Alt wine does also come from a problem with the amp not being able to get rid of the power it brings in (faulty ground). Yes you can run 2 different size ground wires, but it is not reccomended. Also the ristance will change when you stack 2 grounding points on the same ground area, making the amp not work as well as it should. Did you use connectors for you grounds, or did you strip wire and wrap it around a bolt? IF you are goind to use 1 grounding point, you need to get a distro block to stop you from rasing the resistence of the ground. If you did not use high quality wire (for your power) you will have a large electronic field around the power wire, and you will get a lot of feedback if other wires are near it. [/QUOTE]
