Skullz Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Does it make the same noise with the engine running and shut off, or just running? Double and triple check all connections especially grounds. I like to bench test my amplifiers to make 100% certain they do not have an issue prior to installation. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordpride Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Only when running Amp have been pulled and bench tested with no issues. I have also disconnected the speakers and connected a test speaker to the amps and the noise is still there. Hooked my iPhone directly to the amp with the same noise. Amps are daisy chained Truck is a 2012 RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordpride Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Can noise be introduced through the power wire ? Reason I ask is my wire follows the factory harness from under the hood, down the frame rail up through the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIDE SHOW Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Is it coming out of both front speakers or just one side? swap the rca's at the amp and see if the noise changes sides or stops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
