matt402 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I ran power and RCA'S on both sides of the truck. Each side is for each amp. keep both power & grounds on 1 side, rca's on the opposite side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jroshandtap Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Ok I will try that RCA ground next, do you think that will solve the humm for the subs along with the engine whine for the mids and highs or are they seperate issues?

LoudBimmer Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Gotta love the good ole pioneer humm. I do this to every pioneer I install. Call it ghetto if you want but its inside the dash so i couldn't care less about how it looks, it simply works. why do you do this?

jroshandtap Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well you tell me cause I really don't know, all I know is the RCA'S are all monster brand. They are all shielded, that's all I really know. They cost me like 50 bucks each lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassJunkie Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I ran power and RCA'S on both sides of the truck. Each side is for each amp. keep both power & grounds on 1 side, rca's on the opposite side. you do not have to do this unless oyu have jank rcas. Is it a good idea? yes. is it absolutely needed? no. This is what I thought as well. I have shielded rca's which have a separate grounded shield around the outside of the inner wires. I have an electrical engineering buddy who says it will still cause noise even though I'm grounded. I still do run them on opposite sides for good practice, but to me a grounded shield should kill all electrical noise. Gotta love the good ole pioneer humm. I do this to every pioneer I install. Call it ghetto if you want but its inside the dash so i couldn't care less about how it looks, it simply works. why do you do this? To ground the rca's out. Pioneers have a pico fuse in them that pops and causes ground noise, so when I'm installing 6 channels of rca's for someone I don't want to have to pull out their head unit after installing it just because of ground noise. If you've ever put 6 good rca's on a head unit then tried to fit it in a dash you would completely understand why I do this.

The noise you're getting is being generated by the head unit, ground your rca's like I've shown in the picture and the noise should be completely gone (as long as your h/u has a good ground too).

skittlesRgood Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Gotta love the good ole pioneer humm. I do this to every pioneer I install. Call it ghetto if you want but its inside the dash so i couldn't care less about how it looks, it simply works. why do you do this? because of a fuse inside the amp. it'll pop if you short your RCAs or hot swap RCAs. grounding the RCAs to the chassis bypasses that fuse and makes a good ground. how loud is this hum? you said "master and slave" but then said each amp is wired to 1ohm. if you are not strapping the amps then you dont use master and slave. they are both master.
