Ok, This is really starting to make me mad

I turn on my woofer/amp setup with no music on and the woofer still vibrates and sometimes beats. I know the problem is EMI, but I can't figure out what to do about it. Has anybody else had the same experience?

Ok, about the ground. Is it bad to have a ground wire that's bigger than the power wire? BTW, Ground is 4AWG and the power is 8AWG.

P.S. There is no power running next to the RCA and I'm sure the head unit is properly grounded.

I didn't know the ground should be short. Mine is like 3 or 4 feet long. And as for the gauge thing, IDK if I have anymore 8 gauge wire. I'll have to see.

I think it's because the ground is too long.

Hmmm. I think I'll have to get the ground loop isolator then. Can't do it today though. I'm kinda snowed in.

 

[slider5634]

No, I made it a point to run the RCA's on the opposite side of the power.

Um, the stereo ground? If that I have no idea where it goes. It's just the stock ground installed by ford. As for my amp ground, It's secured under a bolt on the right wheel well in the trunk. I've heard a rumor that seperately wraping all of your wires in tinfoil would help. Any truth to that?
