Short ground wire is the way to go, the shorter the better. With cheap audio components, engine noise is sometimes unavoidable though. I had a cheap Boss amp that I routed all the wiring so they were isolated, ran loom over all the wiring, shortest ground possible and I still had engine noise. Loop Isolator was the only thing that got rid of it. Should have just chucked that POS then.
Probably just need bigger wire for the ground. I dont hear it at higher volumes so doesnt really bother me. Since my feed wires are like 15 ft long. And just 12 gauge. Plus running amp and head unit. Together.
If I have to tune my volume with an amp above 10, I expect something. I never hit 20 with Polk Audio equipment or the neighbor's ears will bleed.
Seriously, a good pair of speakers and amp make all the difference. You do get what pay for.

i would agree if it were going into a home,rv,vehicle or boat,but a sxs is a very harsh environment for audio equipment.sometimes cheap is just more cost effective,for me personally.
