Check your grounds. Amp, headunit, battery. Everything. Try moving tha amp's ground, if feasable. Then you might look into ground-loop isolators.

Did you use the factory ground wire on the back of your head unit? If so find a new place to mount it. Try and remount the amps ground make sure the surface is properly sanded so you have bare metal. Also unscrew your amp and set it on a surface that is not metal to see if the noise hissing goes away. Do these things and let me know the results.

You may need to reset your gains on the amp, if they are turned up too high.

Try this first. Disconnect the RCA's at the HU, turn on the system. IF there is still hissing noise, go back to where your amp is and disconnect your RCA's there. If the hissing goes away, then you need to rerun your RCA's away from any other wires (at least 6" inches away). If the hissing noise is still there, then your gains are set too high on the amp.

If that is the case, then turn your gains all the way down, plug the RCA's back in, turn the volume up to about 75% max volume (with all tone controls set flat - or commonly middle position) then adjust your gains (using your favorite hard-hitting song) till you just notice some distortion in any of the speakers. Then turn the gain control backwards just a hair.

If this doesn't work, then suspect the amp as having a poor signal-to-noise ratio, especially if it is an economy amp. The better amps will have a S/N ratio above 100:1. Check the specs.....

Clean tools = Clean work!
