95 south Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 What are you guys using for good rca cables? I am using some Rockford twisted cables right now but when I run from my head unit to sub amp directly I get a lot of ground noise. When I run the rca's from my Rockford 3sixty.3 to the sub amp it plays fine. Any ideas? No System......GFY

When I run the rca's from my Rockford 3sixty.3 to the sub amp it plays fine. Any ideas? are you using the same pair of rca's for all your tests ? a pair might be damaged or kinked. Did you reground the head unit??.

95 south Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Posted June 12, 2014 Yeah I am using the same rca's all around. Its weird because right now the head unit is connected through the 3sixty.3 and plays fine. But when I connect the sub amp directly to the head unit that's when the noise comes in. No System......GFY
afrakes Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 When u ran to the h/u did ur rca's cross paths with any power/ground wires? May cause some noise if u did. Vehicle: 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD WT Head Unit: Pioneer DEH- Mids/Highs: Focal Integration ISC 165’s (front) Subs/Amps: TBD
95 south Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Posted June 12, 2014 No I actually isolated everything. The 3sixty.3 has a balanced/unbalanced switch on it to help eliminate ground noise. I am just trying to find good rca cables to bypass the 3sixty straight to the sub amp. No System......GFY
SIDE SHOW Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 so you have one set of rca's going to the 360 then to the amp? but if unplug the rca's going into the 360 and wire it directly to your sub amp you get noise?
