  1. Ok guys found the problem and has been corrected............ thanks guys for all your info, I tried numerous tests to get it to go away including relocating grounds, addding filters, regrounding hu, and so on. Well yesterday I got frustrated and decided to rip the amp raqck apart and get a better look at everything. I did numerous tests on hu and cadence eq and no change no matter what. Then I found out the sub amp was getting 0 ground noise it was all coming from the mids and highs amp. So I decided to play with that amp and all the speakers connected to it. Found out the loud noise was coming from my back 6x9's due to a weak wire, and the static noise was from gain a little too high dude to the eq's 10v preouts. Lowered the gain and changed wire and now 100% clean and clear
  2. I do not use my ex10 for music, I always have it turned off
  3. lol i know, i do not have a frame at all, well i will try a different ground
  4. I just bought brand new fosgate rcas for my setup 2 sets of 6' cables and 2 17' cables
  5. I really have no other place to ground to without cutting a hole in the floor and running it under the car to the frame
  6. I'm getting terrible ground noise coming through my speakers, it was faint but it got louder once I put in my cadence ceq773 equalizer, anything to fix this? I've tried ground loop isolaters, I've tried grounding the rcas, grounding the ground loop isolater, I've tried almost everything. My amps are grounded to the rear strut towers, and grinded to bare metal
  7. @ OP i would look up the specs to your belt and give this a try...! That's the thing, I don't know if I can go any smaller
  8. Anybody have a pulley location for this car
  9. I'm not sure, I know its 1 size smaller than stock.
  10. Its a huge pain to change the belts, I will get you pics, my alt is a mechman 270 with the overdirve pulley, do your really have zero problems with the 3400's at your shop?
  11. I've tried to get mechman to fab me up something, but they said they can't because the do not have a grand am in the shop to experiment with. I want to stay in audio but I spend so much money trying to keep my car in great condition, and I get a belt whine that makes it sound crappy
  12. I will post pics, just have to get to my computer first and ill get pics
  13. Also have already checked the pulley alignment and its fine
  14. I'm to the point of giving up on car audio for good. My 2000 grand am gt 3.4L has had belt squeal for 8 months now. I have replaced the tensioner 2 times, alternator 3 times, idlers 2 times, belt 5 times. I have tried everything possible to get rid of it. I talked to Mechman and he said that because of the High Output Alternator it is gonna squeal unless, I add a idler pulley so the alternator gets more belt wrap. Well I cannot find a place to put the pulley, and I cannot get a smaller belt than the 1 size smaller that I already have. It won't fit. My belt is a Gates Green Stripe and is only 2 weeks old. I have checked every pulley, waterpump, power steering pulley, H Balancer and its all fine. What should I do guys, is there anybody here with a 2000 to 2003 grand am that has a H.O alt with the same problems. Any help is needed guys because I'm going insane....... Btw. Please nobody suggest, Wd-40, belt dressing, soapy water, bar of soap or any other stupid solutions. It makes my belt squeal 10000000000 worse so it doesn't work.
