pk222 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hey guys I've got the pioneer 4300 DVD in my Camaro and now that im trying to run a 4 channel I'm getting engine noise.. I've had it happen before on other pioneers and fixed it by wrapping the outputs with a bare wire and grounding it. I tried that and it hasn't fixed my problem. Any other solutions?

pk222 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Forgot to say it's only having problems with the rear output. The front and sub are fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skittlesRgood Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 just because you have noise and a pioneer HU doesn't mean the two are related. just the fact that you have noise in one set of RCAs and not the others tells me that this has nothing to do with the pico fuse and grounding the RCA would do nothing. as you discovered. unplug the RCAs at the amp and see if you still get noise. if you do, it cant possibly be the HU or RCAs. if the noise is gone, then plug the RCAs back in and unplug them at the HU. if noise returns, its a bad RCA.

pk222 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I took my car back to the shop i baught my amp and the guy tried a rca splitter off the front set of rca's and it sounded fine so i guess that rules out the amp and I've tried a couple pairs of rca's with the same issue. I'll try disconnecting at the hu and connecting at the amp to see what happens but i don't know what it would be if its not the amp or the hu and ive already tried different rca's? also the shop i origionally had hook up my hu put it in my old envoy. they set up a relay system for the parking brake feature. it worked fine in my envoy but is not in my camaro. i didn't change anything with the relay set up.. possible the relay fried? and any way of testing it?

skittlesRgood Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 you can feel the relay click if it is working.

Ray Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I have smoked zero pico fuses ever. Been selling pioneer for 10+ years. Zero. Terminal an amp correctly and you will never pop a pico fuse again.

pk222 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm not sure what you mean by terminal your amp correctly but don't they usually have problems when you connect or disconnect the rcas while there is power to the hu?
