Fill us in: did this start to occur AS SOON as the subs were installed? OEM 6 X 9 rear deck speakers?

If so, you may need to look at putting a protective baffle behind those speakers so they are not interfered with by the sound pressure of the subs. But, as always, a better description of your system and timeline of problems is crucial for best troubleshooting help.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

About 3 months ago i had an after market deck put in, Pioneer and a pair of kenwood 6x9's with no problems what so ever and just a few days ago i had the subs and amp installed and we tested it with the car off and it was great then no more than 10 seconds with the car running there would be skipping in the 6x9's. the subs are memphis and the amp is memphis also running only a few 100 watts total

"Skipping?" No, speakers do not "skip." Perhpas you should go get it looked at by a shop in your area.

If WHAT can be caused by distortion? I have no idea what your problem might be. "Skipping" means nothing to me unless it is your head unit during CD playback.

Do you have front speakers or just the rears? Does the noise go away if you remove the subs from the back? Are the rear speakers mounted down or just sitting in the holes? This is a tough one to help with without seeing it first hand.

Ok i got more info there is something causing distortion from the front of the car through the Sub cables, the shop tech installed a shield and better insulated wiring and it is still there he is stumped now. the only thing we havent tried is better sub cables, and after that we are going to start unhooking dash items until we find it.

OK now we found out the distortion is from the dizzy, the recommendation is a shield wielded in the engine bay to block it what would be the best thing for the shield?
