new stereo buzzing like crazy

[Ole Buck]

this thing is killing me with the engine noise. I have installed the rca filters, pulled my ground for my amp, sanded location to bare metal no change, does it on mute !!!!!!!!! only goes away when the volume is up. its a new boss elite 9 inch series going into a 4 channel jenson wal-mart amp. even on apple play or using my patch cord i still get buzzing noise.

Poorly shielded wire will cause interference, as well as poorly made equipment. Wires are cheaper so I would start with that- make sure the RCA to the amp are good quality.

Also the RCA running to the amp should not be next to the power to the amp. This will cause interference too. Run them down opposite sides of the truck. Where is the amp located?

You don't want RCA filters, you want a filter on your power lead. Sounds like you are getting some AC on your amp or head unit's power lead. You can get filters for that. Filters on your RCA leads are meant to narrow your audio signal, at least the ones I am used to. Get rid of those.

yes sir you are correct. I moved the ground wire when I put the filter in place. I ran it under the rear carpet and bolted it to the bottom of the rear seats after a good scrubbing with the wire wheel. Now my power wire comes into my amp from the front of the truck and the ground goes in the opposite direction to the rear. I reckon I have full coverage now !
