Default Help w/ amp's and speakers!!!

I'm getting some sort of interference from the rears. Installed Polk DB6500 components in the front, DB525's in the back, and a JL stealthbox for a sub. Speakers powered by a kicker 350/4 and sub by a 250. Also used a PAC oem24 module. Now, only the rears make noise when the volume is turned down. We tried different speakers, amps, cabling, but nothing would get rid of the noise. Any ideas???

We moved the ground, no luck. I am leaning toward the adapter myself. But, I'm all ears if anyone has a suggestion.

I used the Peripheral piece called the GMCO in CF member Gabel1's 2006 C6, and it seems to work fine.
You may have a bad PAC piece.... I have seen it happen...

try swapping where the rcas go into the amp flip the fronts and rears, and see if the noise moves to the front of not.

Just cut the line level adaptor off of the GM-24 and solder in RCA jacks. A little work but it will save you hundreds of dollars over installing a JL cleansweep,
