I have a fosgate head unite going to a fosgate 200a4 and a power acoustics 1040-2 the fosgate amp powers 5 ¼ in. component clarions in the doors, 6 ½ in. cerwin-vaga components in the rear deck w/ pioneer highs in the deck as well. The power acoustic 1040-2 powers my two 12” w-6’s in the trunk. I have a ½ farad cap for the fosgate and a 1-farad cap for the 1040-2. I have small but annoying amp wine coming in on my speakers coming from the fosgate. I have tried every thing I can think of to eliminate this including relocating the ground, new RCA wires, a filter that goes in line w/ the RCA cables, a new amp, and rerouting the power wires for both amps. If anyone can think of any thing else that it could be it would be great help. Thank in advance. :)

radio shake sells the filters that go between your power. i am not sure how it works but i think it should eliminate the problem.

I'm going to get the filter for the power wire thanks for the tip. As for the plugs, I have had that problem before in other cars so that was the first thing I changed along with the wires.

well my stereo was doing the same thing and I have a similar setup to you. Just make sure that your H/U and amp are grounded to the frame without any paint underneath. That should clear it up.

Add a ground from your negative battery post to chassis.

make sure you ground both amplifiers to the same point otherwise you create a ground loop and get all sorts of noise

also make sure that your RCA wires are far away from your power wire... nice setup though.. I love my punch amp.....
