It also might be where the power wire is run or if the other wires are run near the power wire.

The ground should be ok, but I don't know for sure

well the ground and the power are running off of the cap if that makes any sense to you

is it your woofer amp? cuz then it shouldnt really matter..
i'd run a separate ground if i were you. I wouldnt run it directly off the cap. you'll get better current if it has its own ground.

I don't suggest anyone drilling holes into there body. Just another hole for elements to get in.

I capped mine in the rear seats. Gte out the sand paper make sure theres no paint its metal to metal. Like the other guy said...noise is from the positive wire.

where is the front amp if any, and look at ground, and placement of RCA's.

^^Agreed, either that or the RCAs are too close to the power wire.

Its probably something simple, it always seems to be like that. Also where is the power wire run through the engine compartment?

try this... take the radio out and use the ground from the radio to the rca shield.. if that gets rid of the noise then the pico(sp) fuse is bad on the radio...
