Wheelz_pitch Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 What would cause a receiver to hum. Improper ground ? I do know that my house is wired with 12-2 so there is no dedicated ground on the outlet. Would that cause a hum. Any info would be awesome because that shit is driving me nutz.

xXMatt_22Xx Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 12-2?? I'm trying to think of what that is. But anyhow is it the receiver itself humming? Or the speakers? Sounds to me like its starting to burn up, or blow capacitors and stuff. does it stay on often? when do you hear the hum most? on with no music playing, or all the time? is there any chance its coming from the speakers?

SIDE SHOW Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 does it run at both 240v and 110? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the longer it stays on the more intense the "hum" gets. It does it regardless of sound ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccerballzs Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Do you have a cable tv signal going into it if so unplug and see if it stops. Does it do it on cd? Sounds like open ground. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/garage/vehicle/2438-jeep-commander/I Pioneer P99RSAmpere 38002-Ampere 125/44-6.5 inch Hertz HSK XL Mids4-8 inch JL Audio ZR Midwoofer 2-5.25 Satori Mids2-Morel Tweeters, 2 Hertz Milles 3 inch on A pillars2-Hertz Silk tweeters DC Audio Level 5/12 Skyhigh Wire Mechman 320 XS Power D3100MO Funniest Thread of the Year 2013: http://www.stevemead...dy-being-a-pos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXMatt_22Xx Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yeah bro the fact that it gets louder the longer it's on tells me the coils and stuff are way to hot. All its going to do is keep getting worse, or heaven forbid start a fire. So I would be careful with it. Getting a new one would be best. If its a newer one and still under warranty take it back! other wise you can find cheap ones at flea markets, yard sales, etc. But if you got money to burn just go buy one! Personally home receiver's aren't even worth fixing. Too time consuming to try and find the burnt coils and capacitors. then you have to un solder them, clean up the board. Then re solder all the new parts on (if you can find them).... But yeah man that receivers on its way out! Just be careful until you get a new one. Take care brother!
