Sorry :( how many wires do need grounded? I have an old pg d-block that doesnt have a cover anymore so it would need to be mounted to wood away from things that could arc. And a tld-22 you can have. I think I gave brutha like 15 bucks for it and I got my 15 worth of use out of it. I dont think it would cost me that much to ship. I know what its like to be broke. Let me know if you want. Also the Big 3 is icing on the cake, not a need if your charging system is not slacking. That can be done lata.

It has 3 1/0 in and like 6 different gauges out. its weird looking. It would only be a temp fix. It has no plastic case around it. It was given to me so... I actually have the other one blocking my grounds and it stopped my noise.

Is your amp screwed down into the car? I remember we had a whine issue with Ryan's M's and had to mount them to a board.

Gee thanks Tom! :lol:
It is mounted to the back of my rear seat, which is carpeted and plastic behind. I have a q though, it is mounted REALLY close to my CAP, am I getting interferance from that aswell? The little man in my head is telling me yes.

The closer the better.

Try unscrewing it from the seat, and holding it airborne while it plays. The noise went away completely when we took Ryan's amps off.
