werm is an unknown quantity at this point

I use a star washer also, but it's not necessary. Also you keep it under your seat? Isn't that kinda risky? Specially in winter.

Do you have your power wire and RCA cables running together? That would give you noise.

I ran power on passenger side myself, and signal on drivers side. then i grounded on the small, like 2 inch tall, metal support bar running between the seats and trunk on the bottom. Just drill a hole and ground away! No noise for me with that set up.
