also...check ur rca jacks...that can be a problem to someties

what i mean to say is make sure its separated from ur 12v cable (heard that can cause engine noise as well when they are together)

but if its same settings....then jus check ur ground or basically jus read the thread of top of ths one made my choclate chrome

rca's and grounds are normal causes. r u using the same ground for more than 1 think? if so try using a different ground for each thing, if ur using a cap ur not grounding it to the amp r u?

"rca's and grounds are normal causes."
Agreed

" r u using the same ground for more than 1 think? if so try using a different ground for each thing,"
Stay with 1 ground. Multi grounds introduce groundloops.

"if ur using a cap ur not grounding it to the amp r u?"
You should have , from amps neg to caps neg, from caps neg to ground.

Groundloops are the diffrence in voltage between two ground points.
Say amp 1 is grounded here, amp 2 there.
they both make their way back to bat neg. now amp 1 has 1 ohm of resistance to ground
amp 2 has 1.2 ohms of resistance to ground. That .2 is noise.
same being for cap. If you use one ground point, say a bolt on the chassis. and the cap is grounded ther, and the amp is grounded there, then technicly moving the amps ground up to the cap is still the same. 1 path for ground.
