#1 thing needs to be - wire management. Power wire ziptied to RCA's and Spk wire isnt a good idea...

Really all depends on the hiss. It could be the amps, could be the CD spinnin, brake wire interference, illum interference, etc.

So, anyway, after that...yes....organize/clean your wiring job.

Very nice. But the ground location and random dynamat is shoddy. Reground that elsewhere.

Audio issues aside, did the mod live up to your expectations? Could you elaborate on the benefits of the dyamat vs. the expense/trouble of installing from the view point of those who may want to do something similar but do not have a need to do additional mods, such as upgrading the audio or re-wiring.

Wow!! Holy Spaghetti Noodle Batman

You've got the main power and cap,next to a brain and a crossover
All that extra wiring is shure to get you some induced noise.My guess is how are your gains set?
Straight hiss usually is a sign of to much gain somewhere although with that wiring it could be alot of things?
