its a bad ground..the humming is probabaly engine noise being caused by the converter your using..try another ground and that should fix it

you should always use a seperate ground..when you start sharing grounds thats when you start getting interferece from the other devices..try moving it to another location and see what happens..also see how close it is to your speaker wire..that will do it too
