I have installed a couple of new amps and now I have a buzzing noise from my speakers and car alarm siren while the car is running - thoughts? Ground loop noise isolators at each amp make the buzz go away from the speakers while the stereo is on but the car alarm siren still buzzes?????

U shouldn't have to install ground loop isolators, check all your grounds, with the siren buzzing aswell maybe check ur ground at the Batt. Look for any corrosion check the wires to see if they are still flexible. Also if u get a chance check and see what the voltage on the batt is with the car off. The Big 3. usually but not always engine/alternator noise is caused by a bad ground somewhere. I once had a buzz in my speakers, it turned out it was my 4 Awg power wire was pinched in the trunk hinge( i put a diff sub/subamp in every summer, promo from work ^^. that how the wire got pinched). Try your grounds, one other thing u can do is try running a small wire from the gound on the rca's to a chassis ground(the ground on the rca is the round piece that plugs over the female end, just make sure u don't have a strand touch the pin in the center). See if that helps. I hope its something easy for ya ^^
