Just so you guys know, I *finally* got rid of the noise being introduced into my system. It turns out that it WAS quality of product that was the problem. The Road Gear 80W AMP was the whole problem. I bought a Jensen 200W Amp to replace the 50$ Road Gear amp (to drive my front 4 speakers) and it sounds great now.

Oh well, shows you what trying to cut corners gets you...

Thanks for the help in t his thread and the hundreds I started before with my problems. ;)
