Speaker hiss from sub


My REL subs are causing my speakers to have a hiss, which I can hear when the system is off, but the subs idling. It goes away if I run an extension cord into my power conditioner (PS Audio PowerPlant). The subs are connected directly to my amps. Any ideas on solutions without buying multiple conditioners? I tried a simple plug in Isotek wall wart that is supposed to remove noise—no dice. Also tried a better power cord no improvement. Tried moving the sub interconnect around no change. Only way this his goes away is with the power conditioner.

 

Any ideas on a solution?

I'm trying to understand something.  Is the hiss coming from the main speakers or the subs?

Does the hiss continue when you unplug the subs, leaving only the AC cord connected?
