Wehan Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I disconnected all wires from the amp, but when I was isolating the crossover I only disconnected the + wires, I need to disconnect all from it but with my ear to the tweeter I was able to beep out Moors code with the spade connector for the tweeter on the crossover tweeter terminal so I am for sure getting noise from my wires or crossover. I have 16ga wire with about a 12' run for the fronts at 100Wrms so I think that is adequate (I have read that too small of speaker wire over distance can accept noise easier) Have I gone bat shit crazy?

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 What do your grounds look like? Post pics of the install if possible it really helps sometimes. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Wehan Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Grounds have been wire wheeled clean to bare shiny metal, bolted down. I'll grab a pic of grounds shortly but my install is trashed trying to track this down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Doesn't matter if it's trashed nobodys install looks pretty when working out a problem. I just want to see how well and where it's grounded That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Wehan Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 is the h/u still factory ground?No, grounded with the amps and power from amp district block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 You sir have a ground loop problem. Hook everything back up, Run a ground wire from your front battery to that distribution block and tell me if the noise goes away. Even just a temporary jumper through the window is fine.

afrakes Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Imo you need to re ground directly to the frame. Sheet metal just isn't good enough. And I think it's better to have a dedicated ground per wire, could be wrong though?
