[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8311479, member: 650438"] What you are experiencing is alternator whine/ ground loop (google those up if you want to know more) Do you have your RCAs running on the opposite side of your power wire? Make sure RCAS and power wires are not close to eachother. Make sure your amps are not mounted on a metal surface, put a sheet of wood in between because the amplifier chassis can cause a ground loop sometimes too. Another thing you can do is to ground your Head unit RCA. strip a 4-5" section of wire, wrap one end around the exposed part of 1 rca and attach the other end of it to the headunit case via a screw on the case, you should be able to access a few. Make sure your head unit is well grounded too. [IMG]http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/uploads/monthly_08_2012/post-64557-0-07992100-1343908078.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
