HELP ENGINE NOISE
Saturday, March 08, 2008 4:31 PM
I had my amp and sub installed at abc warehouse a few weeks ago and got engine noise through out my car. I was told to replace my plugs and wires because they were crappy bosch platinum +2's and wires were bosch platinums. So i replaced it wih ac delco replacements, didn't help at all, car just has a little more pep. My setup is RF 250w amp,. and a RF P1. I was told to keep the power wire away from the rcas, which they did, and kept all the wires neat. So any help would be nice. Thanks.

Sounds like you need to do the BIG 3... Really all that means is reground everything in the engine bay, and add new grounds to help. I think it is in the FAQ if I remember right.

move the ground on the amp. make sure the power wire for the amp is not ran right next to the rca's. make sure there are no power wires running close to your headunit.

Just posted about this a week ago in your OTHER topic about the same thing... did you ever try grounding the RCAs as a couple of people suggested?

eh forgot i had another topic. No never tried that out, i might have to once the weather breaks and i have the ambition to do it again.

Now my other concern is, ever since i put my subs in my anti lock light comes on after driving for maybe 5 mintues, then turns off when i shut car off and turn it on again, then same thing....

most likely, i heard to check the wires leading to the brakes, clean the connections? But i might have rattle something loose, everything else rattles on the car with the bass hits, shows how poor these car were designs sometimes.
