I just installed 2 amps in my car.

Got a weird buzzing noise coming out of the speakers. The noise intensifies when i accelerate. Amps turn on fine tho.

I'm running 4 gauge power wires from battery to the distribution block. then two 8 guage wires, one going into amp 1( sony explode 500w max for 4 speakers), and the other going into amp2 (mtx blue thunder 280 max for sub). Then i ground the two amps separetly with 8 guage wires. If these info helps.

Okay, looks like buzzing comes from the sony. When i take the sony offline , the sub works fine.

So does anyone know how to get rid of the buzzing??? someone suggested that it was the power wire being too close to the RCAs, but i did run RCAs on one side of the car and Power wires on the other. Thanx for any help!!!

ok bad idea..... [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img] ummm I'd suggest to move that to a better ground and scrape the paint around it to get a soild ground..... also upgrade the grounds.... 4ga.... Hello?!? [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
