Ground loop

[ScottyBoy]

Is the noise coming from the sub, door speakers or both?

Door speakers as best I can tell.

Scotty, is it possible to have the noise, even when everything is wired correctly with high-quality wiring?

Is it ever possible to truly need an isolator as the only option?

So, even with the ground ran all the way to the battery, it is still there, T?

I haven't checked yet. Spent last weekend lowering my buddy's '11 5.0 Stang, changing shocks on another buddy's Golf and then Installing a sub and repairing body damage on another buddy's ride.

Now I'm on your coast.

Get less friends and do your own shit. That's my preferred method.

A quick check, just grab a set of jumper cables, or a long length of heavy (2 gauge or bigger) and just onhook the connection you have, and run it to the batt through a door to see if it goes away.

I have done this before. Then you will know before you go through all the trouble of actually doing it.

 

[daddy]

Will do! This weekend even.

If you are using a Sparkomatic EQ/ Power Booster, then yes.
