2fast4all Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 I'm wondering if anyone can figure this problem out for me. For the past....month or so Ive been hearing a semi-high pitch noise from my rear right speaker. I cant tell if the speaker is blown or not, though I know I hear a little engine noise when I drive. It hear the noise when I turn the engine on, I do hear a slight alternator whine but very low. It doesn't make the noise when I turn to ACC or the ON position... I'm guessing its the RCA's? I am using 10 year old monster cables.. so those might be degrading? I know the grounds to my amps are fine. Ive noticed if I turn on the car with the music on, unplug the rear channel RCA's and plug them back in, the noise is gone. Here is my hardware. Speakers: Kicker KS600 6'' Subwoofer: Rockford Fosgate P3 12'' Sub Tweeters: Sony XS-H20S Head Unit: Sony CDX-GT630UI Amp: Pioneer GM-D7500M (Sub)/Kicker DX 200.4 (door speakers) Distro Block: Monster 4 to 8 gauge (4 inputs) Install bay 4 gauge wire Monster RCA's (10 years old) Various speaker wire Any input would help me a lot, thanks!

RCA's or ground issues are your rcas and your power wire running next to eachother? http://www.stevemead...f-system-build/ 2001 VW GTI with a 1.8T motor BIG 3 Pioneer AVH-4200DVD DOUBLE DIN HEAD UNIT 6 - 4 VOLT PREOUTS RF T1500-BDCP (running at 2 ohm) RF T400.4 RF T1 D212 x2 (in ported box) RF 1/0 TO 4 GAUGE distribution block x 2 all stinger wires 200a alternator (SINGER ALT) RF T2652-S (6.5 MID BASS AND 1" TWEETS in front and rear) KINETIC HC 800 BATTERY (Front) KINETIC HC 1200 BATTERY (BACK) 120ft of 1/0 stinger blue and clear matt 20ft of 4 gauge stinger blue and clear matt 30ft of 8 gauge stinger blue and clear matt 100ft of 12 gauge stinger speaker wire black
2fast4all Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Posted September 23, 2011 All the wires: power, speaker, RCA's are running on one side, why? Because its easier on me to troubleshoot...
bassrace Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Run your rca's away from everything. It could help reduce the noise or get rid of it. if not double check grounds to make sure it's a good solid connection along with it being a metal to metal connection(sand off all paint). 145.9@40hz 145.3@34hz big 3 X2 group 34 Deka Group 31 All 0/1 awg jl meta wire Alpine CDA 7894 Orion HCCA D5000 2 AQ HDC312's Crunch gpv1100.2 (for 6.5"s only) AQ pro audio 6.5" - 3 sets AQ supertweeters - 2 sets 2000 Slamry
01VWGREENMACHINE Posted September 24, 2011 Report Posted September 24, 2011 Bass race is right you need to seperate your power wire and turn on wire from the rest of your cables because of electrical noise. If that doesnt work then get a volt meter and test for resistance in your rcas http://www.stevemead...f-system-build/ 2001 VW GTI with a 1.8T motor BIG 3 Pioneer AVH-4200DVD DOUBLE DIN HEAD UNIT 6 - 4 VOLT PREOUTS RF T1500-BDCP (running at 2 ohm) RF T400.4 RF T1 D212 x2 (in ported box) RF 1/0 TO 4 GAUGE distribution block x 2 all stinger wires 200a alternator (SINGER ALT) RF T2652-S (6.5 MID BASS AND 1" TWEETS in front and rear) KINETIC HC 800 BATTERY (Front) KINETIC HC 1200 BATTERY (BACK) 120ft of 1/0 stinger blue and clear matt 20ft of 4 gauge stinger blue and clear matt 30ft of 8 gauge stinger blue and clear matt 100ft of 12 gauge stinger speaker wire black
