I have alot of engine noise coming from my speakers.  I accidentaly orderd a fused distribution block for my ground  and I have been using that could that be the cause of my trouble.

what about your power wire? are you running 2 different wires or one with a distro block to the 2 amps? and how close are your power wires from your rcas?

I jsut read this from http://www.bcae1.com/ thought it might apply:
"When making any connections in your audio system, remove all power from the system. One reason (there are others) is that the shield of the RCA connectors is connected to chassis ground in at least one audio component (almost always grounded in the head unit). If, at any time, the shield is allowed to come in contact with any power source, the component with the grounded shield connection will be instantly (INSTANTLY) INSTANTLY damaged (Oh, did I say instantly damaged?). This is one of the most common causes of loud engine noise and it is VERY common."

Try a capacitor. It need not be something huge meant to help with power problems. Even a few mF should help somewhat. Just make sure the voltage rating is at least 16V, preferrably 20+.

The fused distro block has nothing to do with this. List the equipment and the vehicle year,make, model. What you have is more than likely a difference in ground potentials. Any chance that you have a Pioneer head unit?
