did you run all the cables down one side?

could be bad earth

 

[Dink]

bad earth

could be at either the amp or the h/u

Sounds like your not using triple sheilded rca's to me. Had the same problem a few years ago on an install where i was using shite rca cables.

i bet the earth on the amp is a bad conection, try earthing it somewhere else.

Hi everyone just signed up on this forum, getting back to the question you need to run the powercable to the oppisite side of the power cable as it will reduce the interfearance.Can send pic to explain.

NIck :approve:

 

[Wazza182]

oops i ment oppisite to the RCA's lol

 

[Rip3z]

Think that's a myth wazza.

 

[TheRoninV6]

if the cables are properly shielded it shouldnt matter how you route them.

where have people grounded there amps?

i drilled a nice big hole in the boot, and created a dedicated earth for the amp, using anything in the car doesn't seem to work as well IMHO

i did the same, remember to sand back the paint.

 

[Rip3z]

I unscewed the boot clamp/lock thingy (where the boot shuts onto) and put it on there.

Works perfect for me.

rip3z - although t works, it's not actually that good an earthing point

I can't ask for any more from an earthing point than perfect.

And that's what it's been for me.
