Default Sub/Speakers problem

well today i noticed that there was a humming sound coming from the sub and when i disconnected the sub there was very very slight humming coming from the oem speakrs. And when im listening to music sometimes the bass decreases and then increases as if its not balanced...i checked the RCA wires and checked the wires behind the deck ..if i move them i can hear the humming getting louder sometimes...i checked all the wires they seem fine...now i dont know what to do
any help would be great
thanks

Well if you move the wires and the humming gets louder that should cause a big light bulb to go off in your head. There is something wrong with you wireing. Try changing out the RCA's. Also verify you have a good ground at the deck.

basically re wired all the wires on the harness...jus the main ones..ground, power, remote, etc...and still same thing. I even made a new remote wire to connect to the amp and same thing..new rcas..same thing
and all the ground are perfectly fine no problems....and i can hear noise when i rev the engine..sounds like a exhaust...
what could be the problem?
would loose speaker wires cause this noise?..cuz i did not check those...and i know for a fact its coming from behind the deck..cuz if i fiddle around with the wires back there the sound either gets louder or quieter...

Is there a power wire laying on or close to the speaker wire?

that'll do it, just like if a power wire is run with an RCA cable.

That was my thought, if on installation the power wire was run along the same side of the car as the RCA's.

the power wire is completly seperate from any other wiring...rcas are seperate...the other wiring that is close to each other is the remote wire and power wire but i doubt that would cause any trouble.....otherwise i cant think of anythin else...checked all grounds..tried different grounds but same thing....i think i'll go get me one of those ground isolators for my rcas...hopefgully that helps
