SMZ2 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 To answer all the questions I have 2 1/0 grounds to the frame. They are sanded down then I plastidipped over to prevent corrosion. The grounds go to 2 of my d3100s the third d3100s is linked in with 1/0. The mb quart is grounded to the ground on the battery. Both power and ground are 4 Guage. I swapped out all wires with ones that were away from power sources and there was still noise. I have tried the ground loop fix on my hu too still noise. The wires I swapped were rcas noise, then speaker wires noise, even changed the hu ground still noise.

SMZ2 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 What type of surface was it mounted to.... I had a issue with a fosgate amp one time where it didn't like metal contact so I mounted it to a beauty board and never had an issueThe amp is on a 2x2 amp rack.

PortSideAudio Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Well shit, all your trouble shooting seems thorough as hell... I feel like a moron to even question you on this, because I'm sure it's fine, but how are your crimp connections to the ground wire? this often can cause problems giving you a humming. 2002 Toyota Corolla Pioneer DEH-80PRS Soundqubed Q1-2200d Soundqubed HDC3.118 Soundqubed Q4-120 Alpine SPR-60 Alpine SPR-60C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIDE SHOW Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Take the unit out and test on a test bench (out of the car)'or test in another car (mates car) pretty sure it wont be the amp but you never no. i'd prob start again and start testing things over and over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weigel21 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yeah, it seems as though you've checked everything we had come up with before hand. Not sure how old/new the MB is you have, but I hope it's an older model before Maxxsonic (Spelling?) bought them out. If it's a newer model, maybe, just maybe, it's showing you/us just how far MB has fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I would lightly tug on the lug after hydro crimping it would only pull the wire out the sleeve.

truthsayer Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Have you tried one of these on your head unit.http://www.amazon.com/1st-Source-Torroid-Choke-Filter/dp/B002AUFVWA/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1402548152&sr=8-6&keywords=alternator+noise+filter Worked great for me when i used to have a pioneer HU. Once i switched out HU to a clarion did'nt need it, but left it in for good measure, truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i didn;t have the issue till i replaced a amp. Thought it was the amp at first, sent it back for a new one. Still same problem. And only had issue on one amp. Then trouble shooted for days with no luck. Then i ran across an article, and decided to try it out. Like i said worked for me. Once i replaced HU problem was gone, but i still left it in. truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
