I agree ... it can be a ground loop :yes:

If you don't want to waist time connecting and disconnecting to determine what is causing the hum ... get one of this http://www.radioshack.com/product/i...isolator&kw=ground+isolator&parentPage=search ... connect it between your receiver and subs ... if is a ground loop it will desapear ... :bigsmile: ...

One of my subs started humming after I added my Buttkickers amp ... I connected one of this, and problem solved :yes:
