Ground loop noise
Just installed a Kicker PXA300.4 amp and Polk MM652 speakers and BT 355 line leveler in fairing of a 2016 Street Glide Special. Using stock head unit. I have EQ on head unit set at 0. With gains turned up past about 1/4 on amp I'm getting a humming noise. Thinking it is a ground loop issue. I ran the power and ground wires for the amp to the battery. Has anyone had this issue? What's the best way to solve this?

As Tailwind posted, try jiggling the RCA's and see if the noise changes. Make sure the connectors are as separated as they can be and the connections are tight.
If the RCA's are not the problem, you can try a pair of PAC SNI-1. They did the trick for me.

Yea I have a pair of PAC SNI-1 on the way. Connectors are all tight. Sounds like filters are the solution. Thanks
