And even when its on its lowest level, you can still hear the interference. | |

I think ive got it. To supply a large amp with enough power you need decent gauge cable, if the cable connections or earth is weak then the amp can only effectively use the amount of power it recieves. e.g a 1000w amp reciecing 400w supply will make 400w of good sound production, the other 600w will be heat, distortion, bad sound?? | |

i think it may be a faulty alternator my side generating the signal. Its quite an old but uprated one. | |

I would say there's something under your bonnet generating a substantial signal through your bodywork... may be worth checking out all the earthing point from the engine, battery or anything that earths to the body... make sure there are good solid connections... | |

I imagine a small amount of interferance could and would be transmitted thru the power wire, but this should be suppressed by the amp to a certain degree... all depends on the quality of the amp.. even good ones produce interferance sometimes.. | |

Well it still picks up interference somehow, because i upgraded my earth strap and alternator earth/live and made sure that all connections were clean (my earths were bolted onto an area that was perfect by using wire wool and a sander). I upgraded my battery terminals, and my earth in the boot is bolted down in the wheel well (once again sanded and cleaned with wire wool/brush). All connections are good on my amps, and my headunit also has an upgraded live and earth all to good points. | |

the power wire is not picking up the interferance... it's generating it through the bad connection... | |

I didnt think it was possible for a power wire to pick up interference. Power leads create (magnetic fields)interference which the RCA leads pickup through cross-talk | |

where can i get one from?? how much r they? | |

its more than likely the power cable for your sub picking up interference and bringing it to the amp for the mids. | |

so y is the problem being caused?? id rather sort it out if its possible | |

ya wanna send me it then?? so its 1 that connects 2 the power lead rather than the rca yea?? | |
Richie |

if you dont want to bother rewiring, buy a ground loop isolator that connects to the power instead of RCA leads, that'll sort u out. Theres one on ma floor somewhere | |

Ground loop, are they grounded both at the same point and is it a good solid ground? | |

yea, it increases pitch with engine revs | |

Is it constant interferance?? at low volume as well as high? | |

ive got my genesis p2 amp powering my mids on me shelf, but when i put the fuses bk into the amp 4 the sub i instantly get bad interferance in the mids. but if i remove the fuse 4 the sub amp it goes??? |
