When i axcel only in the begining like say around 2500 to like 3000 rpm's in any gear my speakers(?) make this buzzing noise as if the engine is sucking power from the amps or something. I dont have any idea what it is but it is annoying and hopefully not messing up my car. Can someone tell me what it is? Thanks

interference in rcas or remote wiring. Did you install your system yourself? I cant recall exactly which it is , but it has to do with rcas or remote running to close to your power..Hopefully someone can tell you for sure because i really cant remember.

you have what called power interferance...you have to buy sound proof wiring (mine are monster cable), or you can go cheap and stay away from any sort of wiring harness which is a ***** once you get behind the dash.

You have to determine the cause of it first. Go to this site...it has a flow chart to tell you how to determine the cause and eliminate it.

Secondly, Monster Cables are a bunch of hype. You can get decent magnetically shielded patch cables at Radio Shack for a lot less. And you really only need shielded cables if you have interference coming into the system through the patch cables. You can usually prevent this by running the patch cables on the opposite side as the powerline for the amp. I use regular nonshielded patch cables if I can find them, and have never had noise. I'm only running shielded ones now since I couldn't find any long enough at the time, in a short period of time. But I did get the cheapest ones I can find.
