I believe I can solve the problem with filters. I am going to attempt that tomorrow hope all goes well. If anyone has suggestions feel free.


Does the sub have a 3 prong plug? Get a cheater plug (3-2 prong adapter) to see if the hum will go away (temporary solution). Very quick and easy way for troubleshooting a groundloop.

A more permanent solution is disconnecting equipment one at a time to find where the ground loop is coming from. This can take time. The usual suspects would be the computer and the satellite. If you don't have cheater plugs start with disconnecting the satellite box and cable coming into the house to see if the hum stops.

I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.
