check all your cabling m8.....you may have some fray wires crossin over...also where have u actually put the interence supressor? if its in the engine bay try be hind the dash........u may be pickin up interference after the filter so the closer u have the filter to the head unit the better it will be

yer it could be that. the suppressors in my engine bay at the min which i spose isn't the best place. i think maybe its my speaker cables interfering together? would seperating them make a difference or do the two cables not interfere with each other?

The interference suppressor is usually bolted to ground then connected to positive, but yours may be a unit with 2 wires.

Try running a new ground to your headunit.

honestly mate move the supressor to behind the head unit.....think about it like this..............the cable between the supressor and the head is actin like an arial ....it will pick up any interferecnce from the egine bay and electrics...hence why i say put it behind the headunit
