i ran the power and rca's on either side of the car for the main amp at the back.
that amp there is in the front right near the firewall so everything doesnt have any room to be ran sererately somewhat

I didn't mean to relocate, remove, or replace the factory ground wires, I just ment to add extra. Use the same guage wire that your ground for your amps are. Say you use 4 guage ground wire and ground the amp to the frame of the vehicle, all is good until the current gets to the battery ground when all the current from the four gauge wire from your amp, plus the current from the engine and the rest of the vehicles accessories tries to get to the battery. If you run the extra 4 guage wire from your frame to your battery everything is evened out.
sorry for the confusion

if that doesnt fix it try redoing the ground on the hu.
how about grounding the rca's does anyone know if that could be part of the problem?
