It could be the amp or HU ground.


Or it could be a bad RCA ground, did you also buy a pioneer HU from circuit city?

HU is good I had 2 amps hooked up for 5 years with no problem.
This new amp is somehow i think hooked up the ground in a way that i can hear the altanator running in my sub? have you ever heard of such a thing?
what can I do to solve this problem?
And I did have cicuit city hook up my previous amp. the did a crap job i must say

Try turning your key just enough to turn the stereo on.. Do you still hear the noise?

I'm betting it's not the ground point, but to make sure, test the gound point with a continuity meter/test probe.
also make sure the amp's gain isn't set too high. Chances are that you have the gain too high and it's causing feedback.
That's a more common cause of this noise and most CC/BB installers are n00bs
