    Hi All,

    I just upgraded my audio system and I have a very low but annoying buzzing sound on my speakers that I'd love to get rid of.

    I tried ground loop isolators but they didn't work and before I do something more complicated, I was hoping someone would be able to help me.

    This is a VIDEO of what I did and how I installed it.

    Any suggestions?

    EDIT: @Juice Weasel Thanks so much for the suggestion! It fixed my issue!

    Will do. I will be pulling my H/U to adjust the gains on the line converter and take a look at my grounds.

    I can almost guarantee it will go away if you drop your LOC levels (start at 25% reduction to 50%) and make up the gain with the amp.

    Thank you. I will be trying that and verify the ground behind the H/U on the same shot.

    Hopefully I don’t have to re route the rcas.
