grounding problem,

Post by mgundle »

if your certain you have a good engine/ battery earth and your head unit is earthed properly
and you amp is
well you should either get a set pf rca supressors or buy better amps or headunits with built in suppressors and noise filters
just my two cents nothing more nothing less
