Default Speaker Buzz with Enginer RPM

My speaker buzzes and the buzz varies with engine RPM.

could this be caused by speaker wires too close to the power wires of the AMP?
any other possible causes?

vibration from the engine and car moving on the ground could be affecting it... just a thought

Power wires should be run on one side and the RCA cables should be on the other.
Thats just for starters.
Do a search on engine noise.
I'm sure this subject has been talked to death.
I know I chimed in on a few threads.
Oh Here is one I found.

When "McGyver" and "Modifry" chime in , you know you are getting some good advice.

if don't already have your RCA's away from the power, then move those...

then, check, check, and double check your grounds.

if that doesn't fix it... bump this thread...

A stock honda ground. ITs got a gold bolt with a lot of little black wires coming out of it. in the trunk, if you take off the two vertical panels (spare tire bulge and the other one,) it should be in the middle up top I believe.
