Colin - STAPUFT Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 If you HAVE to use one, then you have to- but you really should find the real reason for the ground loop. You are just putting a band-aid on a big wound. Noise filters degrade the entire signal from your HU. Make sure your amp grounds are clean. Make sure your ground from your Alt to Batt to Chassis is large and clean. Look for wires next to RCAs and Isolate them from one another. For your HU, you really shouldn't use the factory ground from your vehicle's wiring harness- run a better one. If you have a Pioneer HU, they are bad about having ground loops. To fix it, wrap a small gauge wire around the shielding of the rcas where they connect to the HU and then run those wires to ground. That will handle most RCA noise.

ARMYSGT_D Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 im going to try rerunning everything 1 more time because i really domt want to use it. i have triple and quadroople checked grounds and moved them i just cant figure it out does it matter if the hu ground is longer than 3 feet?

dragon breath Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 i fought a ground loop on my dodge avenger for about a week. i finally figured out it was the antenna . the mast grounded on the rear fender and the cable was like 13 feet long. i ran a wire from the bottom of the antenna to my amp ground and that fixed 90% of it. i then grounded my headunit to the same spot and it was finally quiet.
