Posted April 11, 200817 yr I'm clueless on whats making the loud humming sound from my 6x9'sp.s. The ground looks fine as far as i can tell but get this.. also (Trunk Open = No Noise)
April 11, 200817 yr ground loop...... you have a few options, 1. get a ground loop for your RCA's that go to your 6x9s2. your amp is mostlikly screwed into the metel of your car.... use small screws.. screw your amp to a board, then use more screws to bolt the wood to your car,3. besure that your power wire and your RCAs DO NOT run togather.
April 11, 200817 yr That's interesting, didn't know that could happen due to amp being screwed to metal.I've never screwed an amp down to metal either by the way, hehe.I've always mounted amps to wooden shelves and had them mounted to the frame.

My amp is mounted on the back of my back seat, ontop of a wooden/carpted board.3. power wire is ran down the driver side to the front...
