Skullz Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Thought i posted a ways back in this thread about plugs and wires but guess i didn't, another thing to try is remove the alt belt and see if it still does it. I'm pretty sure its the ignition though. Do you have the engine and frame/chassis grounded together with 1/0 i know some strange things can happen when the ground straps get corroded and begin to break down. 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...

audiofanaticz Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 when u move your rca's try wrapping the cable in aluminum foil. extra shielding Doubt that will do anything, and look ghettoriffic! Im running some Pink Stinger Pro Series RCA's that are brand new, but way old school. Each cable is thicker then 4 gauge power wire, and quad shielded. If they cross my 3/0 wires at my batteries I get MAD engine noise. And its a PITA because my 4 channels are right above my batteries and wires. However with the RCAs between my batts and box no engine noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newls1 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 ok, this is why I said in the title, PRO's only please! I dont want to be a dick, but some of these posts are just so pointless, and cluttering up my thread. I dont need plugs for the 4th time. There is no cap and rotor for my engine.......jesus its a 2002... im not wrapping rca's in aluminum foil, I dont need to know what a BIG4 is, the wiring in my tahoe is of show quality, and ran perfectly and neatly (well mostly) I just asked a smiple question, and am getting some really off the wall replies... In all honesty I appreciate each and everyone of your replies, but lets stop with he GUESSING! There must be an answer here, and that is what im seeking. All my grounds are PERFECT, new RCA's, new HU, HU has a great ground to metal frame, I have done it all, and still cant get rid of this noise that increases with engine RPM.

n8ball2013 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 You might have missed it earlier but check your factory grounds. Starter stuff like that. those things get corroded alot easier than audio stuff and can have detrimental affects as well.

newls1 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 You might have missed it earlier but check your factory grounds. Starter stuff like that. those things get corroded alot easier than audio stuff and can have detrimental affects as well. every wire under my hood and under my chassis that is a main power wire, or ground (starter, relay, all original batt cables, etc...) were all replaced with my 0/1 made cables.... so that isnt my issues either... but hey, Thanks anyways.

Jat40 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 This is what I did in my Hoe and have no issues. 1- Replace engine ground with new 1/0 and ran to the frame, driver's side. 2- Ran new 1/0 ground from the front battery to the same point, driver's side 3- Ran all batteries grounds in the back, 1/0 to the rear frame, driver's side 4- Ran all buss bars grounds, ( 1/0 to the frame in the rear, driver's side ***KEEP THESE THE SAME LENGTH*** 5- Ran RF360 ground to middle frame 10g For your HU, try using the factory ground. If your amps are mounted and touching any metal, get them remounted with a barrier under them. This can cause stray grounds to be induced. Make sure all ground connections are on the metal, no paint between the lug and frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jat40 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Forgot to mention, try removing the RCAs from the amp and start the engine. No noise, go the other way, plug back into the amp and unplug from the HU. Any noise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huh?do-what? Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 did a troubleshoot a while back on an amp installed from another shop. Lights dimming. Engine noise through cd player and door speakers without an amp on highs. Amp read 11.5 volts at the amp connectors. Checked resistance from amp ground to battery and it was about 7 ohms. Ran a 4 gauge from battery negative to firewall. Ohms dropped to about 1 ohm. Dimming stopped mostly, and noise was gone. May help, may not. Wouldn't hurt to check. God damn its hot today. My balls are stuck to my leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
