lockdown801 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Glad to see I am not the only one with the stupid ass ground noise. Are you guys getting it only when the truck is running? Rodlow1 and Islandpride684 let me know what you find out. There used to be a post from a guy on here that he figured it out but he got mad and deleted all of his topic content.

It gets louder when you put the truck in drive and goes down a little in neutral. I got it down so I can barely hear it. Plus I having a problem with my grounds. I think that's where my nouse its coming from. I going to get some help today from a shop. It's about a hour or so from my house but they do alot of big installs. Once I get to the bottom of the problem I will post my findings. 151.0 Sealed http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/196628-2007-escalade-build-my-first-install/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rca's are running on opposite side of each other. Maybe I to separate my positive and negative runs. 151.0 Sealed http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/196628-2007-escalade-build-my-first-install/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockdown801 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I only have it when the truck is running. I have 2 mechman 370 amp alts but I am running the factory and stereo off of both alternators. All grounds are to frame. We replaced the stock battery ground but it does go through the sensor. I am currently only running one alt because I was having some voltage issues with a controller so I have the second alt turned off until I can have MLA modify the one I have. When I am running off of batteries I have no noise at all. I am debating on getting a 3 alt bracket if it will fit and added the factory back to the system. I don't want to give up one my 370 alts because they are keeping my voltage solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodlow1 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Noise in systems are more common than I thought. I was at a show Sunday and every car had some type of noise. I was shock. I stop by a local shop and the owner told me if I had a high power alternator I will always have some type of noise. I nicely told him that's not true. Needless to say there going to be some jack up systems in the ATL.

islandpride684 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Mine is only on when the truck is on, I narrowed mine down to the head unit, I plugged an ipod straight to the amp and no noise, before I had the head unit grounded straight to the factory ground on the wire harness, then I switched it to the body, still noise, the only thing left is to ground it straight to the back and change all my grounds to the frame, but I'm gonna wait till I order new runs since I installed my 2nd alt and its going to be 2 charging systems also, so that way I can do it all at one time...

Rodlow1 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Update: After going to the local shop still no help with the noise in my system. So I decided to remove everything and start over. As of yesterday all batteries and rca's are removed. I will be replacing the rca's with rockford fosgate rfit premiums. 151.0 Sealed http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/196628-2007-escalade-build-my-first-install/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
