No it's not. Quality equipment installed correctly shouldn't have any noise in it. It is either an installation issue, or a product issue. I'd recommend taking it to the place that installed the equipment and have them fix it.

Alternator whine? Hiss? Define or describe this "noise/sound"... ALL components will have SOME amount of background noise. It's the electronics, and it cannot be EVER gotten COMPLETLEY rid of. It is literally atomic noise, and it comes from the transistors and all of the other devices inside the component.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Normal? If there is anything but music coming from the speakers thats loud enough to bother me from a normal seating position, that I would consider to be a problem.

This is what I do for FUN!

If you turn the gains all the way down on both amplifiers, does the noise go away?
