I have the same problem with my KMT6s. They are pushed by the ZXM450.2. My cabins and sub are being pushed by the ZXM700.5. They are both ground to the same point. The only difference is that I have a PAC volume control to control the volume of the towers. I’m pretty sure the problem lies with the PAC. The installer suggested to try “jiggling” the RCAs on the back of the PAC…yeah…ummm that didn’t fix it. If the PAC is all the way up or down and the motor is on there is no whine. However if the level is anywhere between there is. I’m sure it has something to do with how the RCAs were run for the PAC but I don’t see a power wire or anything like that near the run that would usually be the cause of this. Oh well I’ll figure it out eventually.

Alright. I am just about to tackle this project today.
Where else can I ground my amp other than the negative battery terminal?
I was having a look inside the compartment and noticed the 4 studs with nuts for the wakeboard tower. Would that be an apropriate location for a ground?
Any help is greatly appreciated.2008 Outback V - gravity III ballasts, perfect pass star gazer, hydraulic wake plate, depth finder, water stainer, rad-a-cage tower, board racks, tower mirror, bimini top, audio package d, graphics package e, appearance package, cockpit & tonneau cover, mooring cover, black stainless rubrail, docking lights, OJ 14.25x14.0 prop.

Deaf, since you only have one battery, connect your amp ground directly to the neg post on your battery using at least 4 awg cable.

Update: grounding the amp to the tower bolts did not work. The stereo won't even play now, even with just the radio playing.

That may work but would require me to gut my entire wirin harness to simply "try".
I know for a fact I would solve my problem if only I could find a decent ground point for my amp.2008 Outback V - gravity III ballasts, perfect pass star gazer, hydraulic wake plate, depth finder, water stainer, rad-a-cage tower, board racks, tower mirror, bimini top, audio package d, graphics package e, appearance package, cockpit & tonneau cover, mooring cover, black stainless rubrail, docking lights, OJ 14.25x14.0 prop.

Not sure what your logic is here. There can be no better ground point than the battery's neg post. Or am I mission something?
You don't have to gut your harness. I just cut my HU ground wire after the harness, butt spliced in an 18 awg cable, and ran it straight to the batt neg.
I think that in your case, it might not be a ground issue.Al

is the whine there with the amp gains turned all the down? is it a new amp or a refurbed amp?

The amp is brand new. There was no high pitched sound unless the engine was running.
When I turn the key to "run" position, I get the high pitched sound for 10sec and it stops. When I turn the engine on the there is a whine that is added to that high pitched sound. ANNOYING!
I ended up grounding the head unit to the amp and its gone.
I really appreciate your help guys.
