Try a different ground, and what size cables ?
What size are your power cables.
My car has 04 cables and both the ground and positive go directly to the battery and I don't have any noticeable noise. Its also and xd and wired up with a Technic Harness. |

The installation was done exactly like in this link: http://www.the9thyard.com/2012/03/e9...o-upgrade.html where you can also see the cables as well (it's not my installation in the DYI link, but I followed the exact steps. I will try to connect the ground cable to a different ground point and see if it makes any difference. I will report back once I do it. |

Some batch of PDX amps used to produce hiss at minimum gain/no audio. My personal solution for that was to replace that particular PDX amp. Problem solved. Bad connection at the harness RCA will produce a different kind of noise, "scratching", pops, low volume level or simply no sound at that particular RCA/speaker output. |

Bad Radio's have been noted to cause this .

There was a case on here where a guy had this before he added an amp then added and amp and it was worse. He injected signals at the radio connection the problem did not show and when he swapped the radio the problem was gone. |

Nobody know if your gains are correct, if your wiring is correct. Very limited knowledge on audio and DIY projects end like this.

The trick that people where using to isolate
The trick that people where using to isolate the problem was remove
the Input to the amp and inject audio from cd player or some other source. If the noise is not still there then its further uptream . One guy injected signals at the Radio Harness and found no noise. When he got a new radio the noise disappeared. This was with no level shifting devices. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...hlight=mj777lr http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...hlight=mj777lr Try a different amp as the others have suggested if the noise is still there with and injected signal.

I know this is an old thread but I think I can share some helpful info - I had this same problem with a similar setup (2011 328i / e90 + technic harness + JL XD600/6) and after banging my head on the wall for weeks here's what fixed it for me -
I took out my head unit (lots of videos on youtube) and wiggled the two big cables that plug into the back right of it. I assume one is antenna and the other is power or ground. With my wiggling I could hear the noise come and go, so I wrapped them in some electrical tape and put the head unit back with the cables in a position/tightness that did not cause noise. So far so good! It's important to note that you should first diagnose if your problem is coming from before or after the RCA<->AMP connection by unplugging the RCAs and listening, and also plugging in a different source and listening. Hope this helps! |
