My brother is using my car now so i can't go out and check stuff right now, but when he gets home what should exactly should i look for? or check over (for the rca's and speaker wires ect)

has this been going on ever since you had the system in there? Or did you do something to it and its making a noise now?

last week i installed it and it made the sound as soon as i powered it up. Then i realized that i was using 8 gauge wire and i needed 4 gauge. So i ordered some 4gauge re- ran the wire then i powered it up and it still makes the same noise.

how are you running the RCA's? other side of the car away from the power wire?

i would assume its a ground issue way before i would worry about the RCA's.
