Need help fast - ground noise

[fatryan 5,000+ posts]

i was fixing a problem with my sub amp and once i got everything together i all of a sudden had really bad ground noise in the rear speakers. i tried wiggling the ground where the sub and comp amp are connected but it made no difference in sound. i also wiggled all the 0awg in the engine bay and that made no difference. what the hell is going on? everything is tight at the amps. and i never even touched any gorund when working on my subamp. all i was doing was resetting the gains. hope to get an answer before it gets dark //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

its grounded to the sheet metal in the trunk. all the paint is stripped off and i have a stinger grounding bolt im using. but like i said, when i wiggle it, it makes no difference in sound. if thats the source of the problem, it shoudl def make a difference.
