[QUOTE="Volvo_S80, post: 8414743, member: 664084"] No the MS-8 does the crossover automatically. I don't have a coaxial to rca unfortunately but when I took the zed amp out of the picture and ran my speakers off of the MS-8's internal amp I wasn't using any RCA cables and still had noise so it should't be RCA's. The RCA's run from the MS-8 to the zed and they are only 6 inches away from each other but I bought Krystal Kables From Knu before i knew exactly what i wanted to do so the rca's are 16 ft. long coiled up because i only needed like 6 inches but they are away from the power. I have 2 long runs of wire 2 pairs coming from the factory amp located under the passengers seat. These are my inputs to the MS-8 in the trunk (16 gauge NVX) The other runs are 2 pairs of NVX to each side of my front speakers. 1 16 gauge 1 12 gauge each side. Then the power's I ran 2 1/0 (Sky High) from battery to trunk I was conscious about keeping them away from my speaker wires. The MS-8 Zed and DD are all in the trunk stacked on top of each other. I have 6 RCA's coming out of the MS-8 to the amps 4 to the Zed 2 to the DD. But like I said unfortunately the 4 channel RCA's are 16 ft long just coiled up same with the 2 channel RCA's and Id say at least 8 inches away from any power source. As for the caps I'm going to need a friends help they are very small and I'm going to have to solder them *edit I did try the cap on one tweeter and still the noise is there. I hooked everything back up Different grounds for everything this time also. The noise is louder now than it was with just the MS-8 I have the gains set right in the middle at 1.4 and now that its louder I can hear it in my 6.5's as well [/QUOTE]
