I have never had road noise before. Now that I have added 2 caps, 1 cross over, and an extra battery I can here my engin reve from my subs. I don't know if that is cool but I realy don't want to here it. How can I get rid of it?

That's not road noise.

The problem is in the amplifier or amplifier wiring, a rewire should do the trick.

Commonly called ground loop. Sure you know that mike.

My sugg's:

1. Check all your grounds and re-attach if neccesarry
2. Run a wire from the ground of your HU to the ground of your amplifier(s). (so you have a common ground)
3. All else fails go buy a ground loop isolator(just a small transformer pyramid and q-power make the most common ones). Pretty cheap, go to your local stereo shop.
