Default bettary relocation problem

i have relocate my battery to the trunk using the bmr battery box and taylor wires, but the problem i am having now is that it makes is annoying sound when the ignition key is on. the sound is coming from the speakers and i think that is because i routed the power wire threw the inside of the car and it is close to some of the speaker wires.

anyway, where can i get some shielding for the power wire to make this sound go away ? i refuse to route a big power wire like that underneath the car so i have to find a solution, this sound gave me a very big headache, it is very quite but drives me nuts

Hmm... would it be possible to route the wire down the middle? Under the carpet and such? Might be a pain in the *** but I'm honestly not sure how else to isolate those wires from one another.
Is it coming from just the rear speakers? It might not be too hard to run the wire down the side until you hit the back seats or so and then route it down towards the middle. Unless there's some other material out there, I'm thinking the only way to stop this might just be to keep the speaker and power wires farther apart.

double tap your ground wire and make sure it has good connections everywhere. that could be a cause to your issue

I agree with FrankSS sounds like a ground wire problem.

What kind of sound system do you have?

If you are running a amp you dont want to run the power wire by the rca wires or if you have a stock amp it is probally running by the low level signal wires on the pass side. move it 6-8 inches in twords the center of the car and you should be good
