rockFord_Expedition Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Ground the HU using both the OEM harness and run another ground to the nearest sturdy piece of metal. I recommend using 12 or 14 ga wire for this. Make sure you have a good ground run to the firewall from your battery, alt case, or frame. Before powering anything on, have you tried disconnecting the RCA's (all of them) from your amps and then starting your vehicle and turning your system on? Do you still get whine when you do this?

Do you still get whine when you do this? no noise when the rca's are unpluged. One I tried grounding the alt case to the frame the noise goes down but once I bolted it to the alt case permanently no luck noise still there.Also checking my frame grounds. I have seen over 40 ohms of resistance off the frame. 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...
