System Installed (pics)

[Lspade 10+ year member]

Ok, before you guys say anything, the box is not TOTALLY finished. I believe that it will look 460% better when I get the carpet on than it does now. Also, I have all the install pics but I will upload those later.

ONE HUGE PROBLEM!

After I got all this stuff installed I turned the car on and the engine whine problem was quadrupled compared to when I just ran my speaker amplifier in the trunk. It is HORRIBLE //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif! Now it is not only a whine but also a loud distortion noise (this distortion noise varys with the rumble of the engine and the rpms, the whine varys with the rpms). The crazy thing is, when I put the parking break ON the problem gets A LOT less noticable. I can not hear or feel anything comming from the subwoofer. Do you guys have ANY idea what is going on //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif? One time I drove around the house and the distortion noise just stopped? (although the whine was still present)

No pics here either. I agree on the ground problem. Makes sense that it gets worse with the e-brake on, most are negative (ground) trigger.

i dont see any pics, but from what it sounds like, your grounds are not good. make sure your getting bare metal on your grounds, and get the pics working

Ok, the distortion noise just comes and goes now???? Last night I was pulling into my yard and as I downshifted the noise got LOUD //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif! This morning when I got off work I could only hear a slight whine which is not heard after I turn the volume up past 5.

I will sort through all of your suggestions and do the ones that I haven't tried but so far absolutely nothing has worked. I have tried the following:

grounded amp to chasis,

grounded hu to chasis,

grounded hu directly to battery,

grounded rca's on amplifier,

ground loop isolator (worked but small popping noises were present),

plus quite a few other things //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif.

I currently have the headunit grounded on the ground wire for the amplifier. This means that there is about 4 feet of 0 gauge leading from the negative terminal on the battery to 4 feet of 10 gauge and 4 feet of 0 guage leading to the head unit and the amplifiers. (That probly sounds stupid but I was running out of options and HAD to try it, haha).
