Slight humming or buzzing on my speakers


Recommended Posts

I got my RF T1 series comps in and there Is a buzzing or humming noise that comes from the speakers when i plug the rca's into my 4 channel amp. I thought it may be the grounds from both amps grounded to the same battery ground so i moved the 4 channel ground to the chassis and it went down some but its still faintly there. I moved the rcas so they werent near power and still there. Any ideas guys? Im using a 4 channel LOC to go to both amps

Try grounding your rca's to your head unit chassis. Like this.

How do i do that, my rcas go from my line out put converter, which is in the trunk 2 fert from my amp, straight to the amp, how would i ground them there? Also what did you cut the plug off and just ground the wire?

What LOC did you use?

Its a david navone engineering 4 channel loc. It works pretty good, but i think i may have wired it wrong, what i did when i wired it is combined the front and rear left channels together and the front and rear right channels together, do you think that could cause the noise?
