I have been trying to track down why i am getting noise through my input rca's and not the output. Well if you touch the ground of the AUX rca and touch my tweeter which has a metal outside you get a squeal noise. Also, if you touch the case of my HU the noise gets quite. Should I just buy a new HU or try and figure out why my AUXs which I believe are the problem and fix it.

Thanks

How long is your rca cable? because you could be picking up other frequencies if your cord is too long

No security system can beat the tow truck :(

What is the AUX source? Ground it to the same location as the deck ground.

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

I tried to ground it stright to the batt and that did not work. The AUX source is an all-in-1 filpdown. RCAs are about 10ft maybe.
