Crump Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I have some engine noise, and it didnt do it untill the 4 channel amp was put in. I used stinger Rca's and i ran them clean no cuts or anything. ALSO, i had my sub hooked up before the 4 channel, and i had 0 noise out of my sub. now i do.... i dont know how they are connected. I have a clean ground, and my H/U is new. so any suggs?

white4d96 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Check where your RCA's are run. Try moving them and see what happens. If all else fails, try swapping the sub and speaker RCAs and see if the noise goes away. Quote Too many projects, too little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibs Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 are the rcas by the power wire?

loganberry Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 ground out the rca's....very common with pioneer hu's Quote My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aukland Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) Do you possibly have them running next to your power wire? The stinger cables usually have good insulation, but that's a common problem to run into. I have the same issue, I know where they cross, just haven't took it apart t fix the problem, but I had to listen to notice it. Also make sure they aren't touching metal behind your radio, electrical tape the connections just to be safe. I'd also second Logan's opinion, common Pioneer problem (didn't notice the sig to see h/u, good call) Edited April 27, 2009 by Aukland Quote Kenwood kdc-x993 Autotek MM100.4 Fosgate power 6.5" components Time for something new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i dont see that as a prob, i also think that my front right speaker wire grounded itself to the chassis. It doesnt play, but the tweeter still plays, so that means the crossover is still getting the power. Could this be the problem?

Aukland Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) Just ground the outter end of the rca's, that usually fixes the problem if it's caused by the pioneer unit. If not and your wires dont cross your power, then it may b a problem with the rca's themselves. I'd look into grounding the rca's first Edited April 27, 2009 by Aukland Quote Kenwood kdc-x993 Autotek MM100.4 Fosgate power 6.5" components Time for something new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
