So after turning my SRX passive I couldn't just throw away the old pre amp,so I've decided I want to try and put it into my old ESP B55. I've got enough room for the battery to sit inside the cavity. Right now the concern is wiring it.

Ive got two wires,one comming from each pick up and then at the end of each wire it splits in two I guess one's a ground and the other is hot. On the pre amp,i've got a hot and a ground that go to the output jack,a wire comming from the volume pot that also splits into two different wires at the end and then a wire that leads to the battery connector. Apart from the two that goto the input jack,and the battery wire how do I wire this up?

Do I wire the ground of one pickup to the hot of another then the other ground to the hot of the wire comming out of the volume and then the hot to the ground. So wire it all in series?

I can post pictures if needed.

K well I figured it out. Got everything wired up,and it works,but theres a lot of hum. I'm thinking a grounding issue? I have no ground going to my bridge right now so I assume thats the problem. So where do I run that ground wire to? The output?

Ok I wired the ground to the output but that did nothing. Found out in doing this,when I went to reach to turn off my amp and touched the switch,the hum stopped. So this has to be a grounding issue but where?
