sprkn_ranger Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I believe you can run a 14g wire connecting all the grounds of all the equipment in the system together to help eliminate alt whine. Never had alt whine before though so I don't know from experience.

alaskanzx5 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 when you wrapped that wire around the rca did you ground it to you cd player? my pioneer was having the same proplem and i wrapped some 16gauge around the rca's and then grounded it to the cd player and it fixed it completely. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

fox_racin4 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 would wrapping wire around RCA jacks on amps, then grounding to rear batterys be a good idea? 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlamminBeats Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 im curious about this as well would wrapping wire around RCA jacks on amps, then grounding to rear batterys be a good idea? tried this, didnt work when i wrap a wire around an rca, and just leave it attached to nothing, plug the rca, its gone, but bass doesnt play....
