Default Aftermarket amp Lots of noise. any suggestions

Well i went to auto zone and picked up some 5x7's and a small """120watt""" amp, that putout 18W/ch@4OHM, anyway it's about perfect for the speakers rated at 20RMS each, but my only isssue is that i am alot of noise. i know i probably need a ground loop isolator but arethere any "free" fixes or things i might need to check to stop this?


and another thing, i have the amp hooked in VIA Low level inputs, (RCA) can i just use my factory wires from the rear deck and wire them into the the connector, my only worry was that it might double up the bass doing it this way.


thanks,


P.S. i start the intership monday at the audio install and repair shop, so the questions from me will be shortly ending and i might be able to be more help full to other members newer to car audio .

make sure you run the power wire on a different side from the RCA cables
