Big P Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 ok I finally got a deck in the truck and the indaglo gauge over lay is causing tons of interference. Its on the same keyed power and ground as the deck. should i find a different power source or try moving the transformer box or something else?

Chris Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 1/8 inch plate of stainless steel over the transformer to act as a sheilder maybe? im not really sure, but you might just try moving some rcas around it helps a lot. they hate line current and especially tranformers even in a home setup. :detective2: Quote 4 15" FI Q D2's in 12 cubes tuned to 32hz 1- T1000.1bd's 3 Maxx 29 deep cycles 4 runs of 1/0 gauge -Big 3 -Trunk sealed off from the cabin Custom 15.8 dual-volt switching MLA module All in a CAR.

ChevyBoy Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 stainless isnt metallic for the most part, so idk how that would make a shield. i would try getting a new power and a different ground first. hell, my transformer is shot, and idk what to do lol.

Chris Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Not sure if the stainless would help, but they do use it around transformers and speakers because it doesnt let free electrons penetrate it otherwise try the power connection thing like chevy said but it could be an rca too close to an open splice Quote 4 15" FI Q D2's in 12 cubes tuned to 32hz 1- T1000.1bd's 3 Maxx 29 deep cycles 4 runs of 1/0 gauge -Big 3 -Trunk sealed off from the cabin Custom 15.8 dual-volt switching MLA module All in a CAR.

Big P Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 the rcas is a hole another issue all together i have them routed on the drivers side and all the battery stuff on the passengers side and it whines like mofo. Whats funny is i have my air compressor on the dis block for my amps. Every one said not to do it cause it will cause interference. well i did it and its not. i find that really odd. This truck is defiantly female Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSN2meBoom916 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Most trans boxes for indiglo gauges throw some degree of whine NO MATTER WHAT. -That is, I have NEVER seen/heard of a set that didn't have SOME degree of whine if you really pay super close attn to em. I have an APC set in my Integra and its almost not noticeble w/ the car running and DEFINATELY NOT audible w/ the tunes goin but if I turn on my lights even to the ACC setting (the first setting where the dash lights up) I can hear a very faint whine from the trans box. The only thing I have come up with is to isolate that trans box as much as possible and if possible completely seal it off from the outside world- as in, coat it in either resin or rubber material so it's friggin airtight-since noise travels through the air that should have some noise killing effect on it. IF however the noise you hear is coming through the speakers, it's more like what Chris was saying and you need to seperate the rca's from that box by a bigger gap or more "material" in between them I.e. metal/foam/rubber etc w/.e. would make a decent space barrier or find a new place rout them so they are farther apart. Hope that helps some. Maybe I'll look further into a solution if you post that that was no help. LMK.

Big P Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 well I got rid of all the noise heres what I did. I put the power for both the deck and light to the keyed ingniton power wire. the constant power is still hooked to the deck aswell. I put the ground for both the light and the deck on the fire wall after sanding the fire wall to bare metal. The only problem now is when i role the power windows up and down the indiglo light turns on and off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
