I get some kind of ground noise from my speakers when i turn the gain on my amp anywhere past the minimum which does no good since I cant hear anything there. I currently have my amp grounded on a bolt next to the clip that holds down the rear seat, what is a better grounding point for my car as I have heard that the noise is related to having a bad ground. *also, I have my power,ground, remote turn-on and left side speaker wires running on one side and the rcas and right side speaker wires on the other side, is this setup correct?

The left side speaker wires should be running with the other speaker wires and rca's and NOT with the power wires. As for your ground, a bolt is fine as long as you scrape the paint some more to expose bare metal. That'll help make it a better ground.

Don't take the time to rewire your car so the power wire is separate, take the time to get a solid ground. The reason many people put power wire separate is because their ground is not good enough... get a good ground and you will not have this problem.

what would be an ideal ground, it is a 99 accord 2dr, I tried to move the ground around in the back and have't had much luck. Also, about rewiring, does that mean i gotta run the speakers all the way around from the right to the left as in under the dash and through the other foot panel with the otehr speakers and rcas as I dont know if I have sai this but that noise it makes is a whining noise that comes from the speakers and when I hit the brakes it clicks and when I accelrate and rpms go higher the pich of the noise gets higher. thanks

You have alternator whine. Like I said, if you can't find a bolt in the back somewhere, drill one and put a nut and bolt through it... make sure the ground cable and power wire are a big enough size, and make sure the ground is bare metal.
