help with engine whine through speakers...
Friday, September 21, 2007 8:37 PM
specs

pioneer DEH 8600MP deck
Sony Xplod speakers front and back (xplod 444w amp)
JL 12" subwoofer (JBL 600.1 mono amp)

my power wires are on one side and the RCA's are on the other, the remote wire is run alongside the RCA's.

One remote wired is sent to both amps (one wire)

JBL amp is 4 gauge and xplod amp is 8 guage

both are grounded to a bare-metal spot in the spare tire area.

as of this moment, all four speakers are being sent through one pair of RCA's to the FRONT INPUT of the head unit.


I have another pair of RCA's and i am going to run them tommorow and run them to the rear output on the amp
16 gauge wire for the speakers.


can anyone help me ? thank you..

make sure you have a good ground on your radio. Do you have whining when you have the rca's out of the radio or in or both? run another set of rca over the seats of the car to the back and plug those in to see if you get the same noise
then try a noise filter

what brand rca's are you running?
