Robert8252 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I really don't know if this will work. But. You can try grounding your head unit to the same spot as the amp...it would elimate a ground loop if this is the issue... 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lance_98main Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 make sure your ground on your deck is good, and make sure the rca's aren't running by the power wire running to your deck. If none of that is messed up, might want to try some new rca's. might be the slightest of nicks in them and could cause it. i had the problem and checked everything multiple times, and tried some new rcas, and whammo fixed it. I couldn't find anything wrong with the old ones except a tiny little slice in the coating on them, but must of been enough to screw them up, or it was just a coincedence and they were just bad. 2000 2dr blazer 15" diamond audio d3 4 cubic ft. tuned @ 32hz (slot port, sub back, port back) debating on a wall or no wall.

Good luck to you man, I know what it's like to have noise threw your speakers, it sucks, especially when you check everything and try different things and still can't get rid of it. Its always the most minor thing to thats causing it. just double and triple check everything, thats all i know to tell you, hopefully someone else chimes in and can help u out. But it's worth trying new rca's. don't have to completely run them or anything, just hook them up and see if it's better. 2000 2dr blazer 15" diamond audio d3 4 cubic ft. tuned @ 32hz (slot port, sub back, port back) debating on a wall or no wall.

Robert8252 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I just bumped a thread with a link I posted in general audio. It called best engine noise answers or something. That has pretty much any possible causes of it. 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert8252 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Have you tried it with the radio out of the dash. My brothers ranger had a wire for the tach right by one side of the radio and we didn't know it at first. When he got a new radio the rcas were in a different location and it was gone 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
