Make the ground wire on your amp as short as possible. Second seperate your RCAs and your power cable, put them on opposite sides of the car. and if your running some cheapo RCAs, get a good set, it helps. think thats about it. hope this helps

yes, make sure you have a set of good insulated RCA's and DO NOT run them next to the power wire.

It should, I havent heard anyone complain about road noise from a mtx amp. So once you separate the wires it should go away, and remember the ground nees to be short. If it doesnt work we will think of something

If your running an alternet crossover for the mids and highs there could be noise from that. I had noise with mine a long time ago because of the crossover.
