BriEOD,
Your situation doesn't seem logocal at first glance but you cannot deny the issue exists. I can see several possible causes.
Let's speculate that another device on the accessory circuit is...

Both the JL Audio HD & XD series and the Wetsounds SD & HT are Class D so the highest possible efficiency.
In contrast to the JL, the Wetsounds are unregulated and will show a reduction in power of...

One way to go is dual JL HD750/1s on the tower 3-Some. That's 375 watts minimum per each 10-inch. That's definitely the thermal and dynamic limit.
The JL HD650/4 is a perfect match for the four...

Forget the JL Audio specs. JL Audio is being very conservative. I have tested the two amplifiers and have the charts. The HD750/1 is down 1 dB at 20 kHz into a 4-ohm load and down 2 dB at 20 kHz into...

The Krypt 6.5" HLCD requires a 5 9/16" minimum opening. The opening in the MC pod is 5.0". Good luck removing 9/16" of solid 1/2" thick billet. Choose a speaker that will fit the pod so that all you...

You are going to drill and tap with just about any coaxial. The Clarion mounting hole pattern is very narrow. It's also common with that pod to modify the billet face with a dremmel to make a small...

The lure of a low price and inflated specifications didn't get you a useful amplifier. The Pyle model referenced is a BTL amplifier with no power supply, no crossover and cannot be bridged. It will...

No, not normally. The input selector would normally take unused RCA inputs out of the circuit. But I guess the two phono inputs were not on a selector and internally paralleled. It makes great...

You can also leave the RCA cable plugged into the existing amplifier, unplug the RCA from the HU, and short the left to right RCA at the HU end with a female to female barrel.

The AC ripple created by the alternator that runs through the power cables normally isn't of enough gain to travel through air and be collected by the center and shielded conductor of a decent RCA...

Before placing a 6.5" HLCD in the factory pods, confirm the speaker basket against the pod opening. An HLCD and basic coaxial will be very different even though both may be classified as a 6.5". That...

Like Mike said above, it is possible to have noise radiated into the RCA cables by being in close proximity to power cables but it is extremely rare. In fact, I can only remember having to relocate...

Nope, you are not getting it.

Both batteries should be grounded to the engine block since that is the largest metal mass on the boat. Perhaps the transmission is the same or perhaps not. I'm not in a position to form an absolute...

mcook,
A ground loop or supply loop can equally induce noise because this encourages the flow of DC current between components in the signal path. The engine noise is always present but normally you...
