    ok most of you guys know i had a false floor made.it's great i love it,but now my 4 ch amp is humming.:eek:

    it's a very quiet wine.barely audible,but i know its there and it drives me nuts.:mad:


    i know it's from the amp/s being screwed to the metal floor thru the carpet.i got nylon washers and will put them in tomorrow.so my question is....if that doesn't help what do i look for next.

    mind you it never made noise in it's previous location.(mounted on a plastic board to the seat back)

    could the case have been twisted when it was screwed down.?cause just backing one screw off a couple turns reduces the noise alot.

    again if the nylon washers dont help what other "tests" are there to perform?:huh:

    selling the amps is not an option either.:lol:

    Amp is whineing? LOL ask it if it wants some cheese with that whine..It's most likely from being screwed to the floor, separate it completely from the floor and get a ground somewhere else in a good place, with nuts and bolts and sanded to bare metal, which i'm sure you know already lol.

    thanks for that,but thier lactose intolorant.lol.

    i have'nt got around to putting the washers in yet.tooo darnhot outside.

    my other option i was kicking around is to gut the truck and redo the whole install.

    i could hide some things better this time around.
