ok well im not sure if this is the right place to be posting this questions or not ...but here goes

well it all started when i was over at my dudes house, and my car went dead ...so i unhooked my system and got the car jumped and went home ...i took the system out for a few days untill i got a new battery and put it in the car so it wouldnt go dead anymore ...well when i hooked up the system i could hear my engine through my subwoofers ...but it never did it before the car died im goin to list a number of things i have done to try and solve this problem

1)re-ground my AMP "in 3 different locations"
2) got a new cd deck
3) re-ran all my wirers
4) got a sound loop thingy
5) got new subwoofers
6) got a new AMP
7)new RCA cables

i have been to many places that says they can get the sound out but it will coast from anywhere around 60-80 bux an hour to just see whats causing the noise, the noise does not come through my 6 x 9's only the subs ...and when i un-plug the RCA cables it stops but when i plug them back in it does it again, so i really have no clue to what is going on ...if someone can help me find out the problem that would be so kind.

Thank You,

Russell

    have you tried grounding it directly to the frame of the car?
    you are scraping all the paint off when you have the ground correct?
    if its not the ground, then it should be the RCA's, those are two biggest places where noise comes in-truthfully, go to sounddomain.com and pick up some street wires ZN 3.0 patch cables
    if its the RCA's, that should stop the problem

    Also are your rca's runnig right down next to your car's harness for say... rear lights, etc??
    That should be avoided, though it didn't make any difference in my car.

    theres only 1 SW ZN3
    what youre probably talking about is the different lengths they come in
    youll need one long enough to run from your head unit to your amp, however long that might be
