Mr.JaunDurfle Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I need some help to try and figure out why I'm getting alternator whine from my speakers. I have the big three done with 1/0 gauge Stinger Pro Series wire. Same wire on my Optima Yellow Top in the engine compartment run under my truck then into the back of the cab to the distro block. From the distro block I have four gauge Stringer Pro Series wire to 3 amps, two Kicker 750.1's and a 350.4. The power/ground wires are not touching any of the Stinger HPM Series 14 gauge twisted speaker wire or the Tsunami RCA's going to the 350.4. I have the ground (Stinger Pro Series 1/0 gauge) going from the distro block in the cab run under the truck to the Optima, instead of the frame. Could that be where I'm getting the whine from? Should I have ran it to the frame? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mr.JaunDurfle Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Thanks Snowdrifter, I'll look at that. Sheena, I've had two different head units and it has the whine with both, Alpine and Kenwood. This same system (same RCA's also) was in my other truck without noise and with the cables not run nearly as neat, and had no noise. I had it grounded to the frame though. I'll take another look at everything and see what I find. Thanks again!
