hi guys, my dilema is that no matter what I do or how I wire / re-wire my system i still get engine noise. I've used various RCA's you name it, it doesnt go away.

I was thinking of wiring my radio back to my aftermarket interior speakers and just using the SUB RCA out for my SUB.
Hence, eliminating the engine noise but, will it sound significantally different?
I dont blast the radio or drive down the street hoping to set off car alarms.

well wiring the speakers to the stereo and having the sub on the rca outputs is the way its supposed to be. what are you talking about?

How is your system currently hooked up? Name all the components and how they are hooked up.

current setup
Headunit - Sony XAV-7w
Interior Amplifier - to power interior speakers - Audiobahn
SubWoofer ( Kicker S12L5 ) Amplifier - to power sub - Audiobahn
XM Tuner - Sony XM XT1
CD changer - Sony
TV tuner - Sony XT 63V


I want to eliminate the interior amp and let the radio power the interior speakers while still keeping the sub woofer and amplifier and everything else. ( ONLY INTERIOR AMP WILL BE REMOVED )

If you had 14 gauge speaker wire running close to a 4 gauge power cord (2.5" - 3" inchs) from the engine bay, will that contribute to engine noise???

are you running any rca y-splitters?
