Still Noise From Speakers

RCA's are grounded.
Deck has a second ground.
All amp grounds are on a solid, sanded, nicely bolted part of the frame.
Main power wire, is not near any other wires.

Car is on, ideling, hear a buzzing noise.
Increase the rev's, it gets louder.

Only thing I have ocward with the system, is that my deck's Rem. seems not to work.
So I have my Rem's/triggers, connected off the cig lighter, with a male/female connector.

I really am stumped.

Kenwood.

Oh, I also have 2 line converters.
I have them dialed in, so I hear the least amout of buzzing/ noise from the speakers.

have you done the big 3 ?
is your ground off the battery nfg ?
have you tested your rca's ?
try lowering your gains to all most off and also the 2 line converters.

What zzzzzzzz (however many z's there are in there...) said

Check your alternator/battery connections under the hood. If you are getting a whine after checking all your gear connections, check under the hood.

Have you tried turning the gains on the amp down, and turning the gains on the LOC's up?

Do you have component speakers or are any of your speakers using passive cross-overs?

line converters add noise. take them out and get a good processor that has all the outputs you need.
Or get a HU that has all you need already.

well..... im abit confused......

why are we using line converters on a aftermafket hu ?
that is clearly where your getting your line noise.
get rid of them and the problem will go away
either upgrade your hu to someting with tripple pre outs to retain the fader of go to a electronic crosover with a line driver . any audiocontrol piece has a line driver and the eq6 also has high level in if you have any more questions then pm me
