billy101 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Had a similar issue with my kenwood HU, had to do the pioneer trick of grounding the RCA's. I'm really hoping that's all it is. So, basically just strip some 12 or 10 gauge wire of the shielding and wrap it around all the RCAs? and then tighten the ends down to a bolt on the casing correct?

thefirstjeepsytem Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 they do sell filters you plug directly to your rca's that eliminate the noise, i used some a while back.

I'm looking for the cheapest and quickest fix right now. I have a lot of things planned the next couple days and this is really a nuisance. but if this doesn't fix it I'll hit up sonic electronix or audiosavings and get some of the ground loop for rcas....

Alright, well if this doesn't fix it, or even if it does fix it i'll still pick em up. Can't have clean enough signal right? Quote First System 2002 Impala LS 3.8L V6, 128,365k miles.
