OP do you notice more noise from the subs when you have your heat/AC going vs. when you don't?

I think the most important question here is .....what do "the subs" say to you? If its kinky, could just be some creepy homeless guy living in your trunk who wants you....check that first and report back

Serious question here, how can you get AC ripples through a wire that is passing DC current?

Poor battery not filtering out AC ripples from alternator

But AC ripple only occurs on an AC circuit and the alternator outputs DC current

Im not trying to argue with you or anything but it is possible for AC to go from your battery through your power wire to your amps.

the alternator converts A.C Voltage into D.C and its not uncommon to have AC ripples come from the alternator to the battery. This can happen when a Rectifier Diode goes bad on an alternator. New batteries filter out allot of these ripples but if the battery is old it wont be capable of filtering out as much. The AC ripples that go through to your amplifier can cause distortion.

but because the OP said what he was hearing was music and not distortion it isnt AC ripples going through his power wire.

Alright thanks for clearing that up I didn't know the alt first had to convert AC to DC
