Feedback
Feedback I recently installed a Boston 5 channel and SR6500 components with a G5 sub. But I get major feedback when driving. If the volume is turned up it's fine, but if it's not it's really loud you can even hear the engine idle through the speakers. 
What would cause this? Any help please. Thanks
It's late and I didn't do a search so sorry if there is a sticky or something. Thanks

Most of these types of problems are related to grounding. To eliminate any possibility of a ground loop use the same grounding point for all stereo components. Make sure the grounding point is bare metal.

Who installed it? I would take it back to them and let them know whats going on. A ground could be the source and usually is. They may have also used cheap RCA's and/or put them too close to the power wire that runs from the battery. Optimal placement would be the opposite side of the car but sometimes shops get in a hurry and just run them on the same side and don't seperate them enough so you get noise. Show them the work that installer did...see if the shop is happy with his work.
