Any suggestions on '08 ELS 5.1 sound system upgrades?

If anyone has any tips to getting this static/hiss noise out of my driver tweeter please LET ME KNOW.
The noise is only when my car is started, unless the stereo is cranked, I can hear the noise. Its bothering me to the point where I dont even want to drive the car.

Can you take a pic of your amplifier ground point, battery ground terminal and grounding points?? Make sure you don't have corrosion anywhere.
I still get a whining that goes up and down in pitch (faint though) when the car is on. I haven't really tried to troubleshoot since I've been busy lately but I dunno if it's the RCA's, bad amp ground, bad grounds off battery, etc.
You don't have a processor or line driver do you?

I know exactly what you're talking about, but I don't know how much more I can help without being there. It shouldn't be doing that if everything is installed correctly. What is the shop that installed it saying?

Geeky- The guy that did my set-up did it on the side. He doesn't think it's a ground, even though I kind of feel it is.

Hm. Does he (or you) have another amp or another tweeter to test it?? If it stayed with the tweeter it's either that amp channel, the tweeter itself (or something along the way...wiring, etc to that tweeter), or a grounding/level issue. I would check what I said if at all possible. It would really help and resolve 2 possible issues
So it's on "Balanced" on the BLD correct? The Rockford Fosgate amp GAIN is all the way down? The BLD GAIN knob is all the way down? ..just a checklist...
Did your installer run the power up the drivers side and the other stuff up passenger side? I'm wondering if he ran everything down the same side..
in your pic...the BLD appears to be on "balanced"

I don't think its a ground either. I think its the unbalanced/balanced issue me and TM butted up against.

He ran the power wire down the driver side, and everything else along the passenger... The only place there close is right next to the amp.

Problem solved! my installer put the driver crossover too close to other wires, warranting the static. What a relief I finally have quiet tweets. The shop is actually doing a complete tune using a scope right now so everything should be sounding its best here in a little bit.
The owner actually played some hertz high energy.6.5 which sounded real good. Also showed me an Addison processor that uses fiber optics. Pretty cool stuff if I ever did my rears.

Yeah what a relief...the only thing i'd like to do is fully dynamatt the doors. My original installer only did about a square foot around the brace for the speaker and the inside of the mdf. . . I still have 1/2 of the dynamatt door kit but obv i'll need more. I was looking at going a different kind of sound deadener/mat for a second skin. Im sure a full deaden door will be night and day.
