Doubt it, you're gonna need a new amp!

I have an xd600/6 but channels 5 and 6 stopped working other than that it works perfect and noise free. I was planning on replacing it with and F6 pretty soon but I'd be willing to work out a trade if your interested.

That's how I had it hooked up when those channels stopped working. It was bridged powering the Morels which are 4 Ohm. It'll be replaced soon.

Which system did you start with or are you driving the amp with ?
Did you have noise before you installed?
The standard steps are
remove the input to the amp is the noise gone
Inject a music signal directly into the amp from a cd player or
device of your choice does if it plays cleanly then the noise is from the head
unit or whatever else up stream.
The guys that commented on the pdx know the pdx.

You shouldn't have any noise at all and noise filters are junk, check your ground and make sure you have a solid ground! If your using low level inputs make sure your using a good set of wires that are shielded. If that doesn't work, chances are it's the amp
