Yo j,

That's no good... it does sound like it could be a grounding issue.

Is the noise coming out of all 4 speakers? (front and rear, not the sub)

If it is only coming out of the front speakers, try unhooking the signal wires from the amp that is running the fronts (keep track of what went where) and see if it makes noise without the input wires plugged in.

If it does, then it is probably the ground. Go to the place where it is grounded, unhook the ground, take some sandpaper and sand the area where it is grounded well and reattach. Sometimes it will just get corroded and screw up like that.

You can also try taking the fuse out of the amp that powers the front speakers and then play the stereo to see if there is noise coming out of any of the rear speakers and/or the sub.

I'm out of town right now (got my laptop plugged into a hotel phone) but I will be back tomorrow afternoon.
