I have been trying to figure this humming for weeks. I have a 2010 ultra limited with 4 6.5 hertz up front powered by a sound stream Picasso nano pn4.520d amp in the back I have 4 hertz 6x6 powered by a diamond 2v2 amp and a aquatic head unit with a dsr1. Bother amps are connected to the battery both positive and ground. Have had the system for years worked great. Then one day I was walking my bike in my gravel driveway then my speakers started crackling and humming. Cracking in only with bike running but the humming is with it off. I have 2 speakers at the backseat that are powered by the radio alone. They are fine no humming or cracking. I have checked everything I can think of checking so Im back to square one checking everything again. So any help you can give would greatly be appreciated.

Sounds like you may have a RCA cable that possibly went/going bad or a ground loop issue or the DSR1 is on it's way to self destruction.
I have seen quite a few of those DSR1 going bad in the last few months for one reason or another. Swap out the DSP after checking all the connections and the systems have went back to being noise free.
Do a little diagnosing by eliminating the DSP out of the equation to see if the noise goes away.
