Good evening everyone, I am hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction and help me solve my problem with my new amp and speaker set up. In short I put a 4 channel amp and new speakers in my non B&O BS, I installed all the equipment my self(have done since my first car at 17 and never had these problems) and ran a 4 AWG feed and ground line. I ran wires to the trunk and installed a set Kicker LOC2's to my amp and then back to the speakers. The sound quality is amazing but.... It picks up brake lamp noise, background noise, and alternator whine and it unbearable. If i run speaker level inputs that background noise goes away and so does the fidelity of the system, literally drops quality by 30ish percent. I used an LC2I and that helped a bit but its still a muddy mess.
I started with a ground in the spare tire well and then moved to a dedicated 4awg back to the battery negative, and have tried ground loop isolators and other LOC's and just cant seem to win. I've also tried moving around the ground and power wires and speaker input and output wires. I even ground the amp and just cant get rid of the whine. Any idea what I could do next? Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated !!!
