Hey guys,
I just finished installing my new 6 channel amp but now have alternator noise. I've already redone my ground on the amp moving it to a different location even and that didn't fix it. I also bought a couple Ground Loop Isolators and those didn't fix it either so I returned them. Any other ideas on what to do? Only other thing I can think of would be to replace my alt with a bigger one? The amp is a JBL GTO 755.6 II. Thanks! --------------------  |

jester is on the right track for one possible cause... the power wire and RCA wire for the amp cannot be put next to each other
 you'll get magnetic alternator whine from that... the shielding that Davey talked about will protect from the magnetism fields... or just move the power wire to fix that... if ground loop did not fix it then changing the ground point does not matter... the two spots are of equal potential... so check power wire
