Pertaining to the Brain Rinse question whether to ground the source unit at the amplifier or battery...
The most importance relationship to have low resistance and zero potential difference is between the components in the signal path. Everything else is of secondary importance when it comes to noise. Now if the source unit, amplification and batteries are all in the port locker and the connecting gauge of cables and quality of connectors/connections are of very high, it may not make a difference. In many other boats the batteries are in the transom or in a more remote location related to the audio components, so Phil's recommendation becomes an essential practice.

Phil,
Do you happen to have one of these factory set up sheets for the 2011 LSV with the MB Quart stereo, two amps, sub, tower speakers, and six boat speakers? I'm currently experiencing hum in the speakers and it's driving me crazy. I believe that my system came from the factoy with one of my RCA cables "Y'd".
Thanks,2011 LSV

I can dig it up, but first things first. Re-wire your head unit power wiring to the amplifier as shown in this diagram. Run the red head unit cable through a switch but other wise, take both power wires and the ground wire staright to the amp terminals.
After that, make sure you have not turned the gain controls up. I will dig for the factory sheet.
