Robert8252 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Try it first to test it before you actually do it and speaker wire would be ok to try it out. It's all wire. 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...

irpirate Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 off crutchfield The Battery Itself - The battery can cause problems if it is: weak. overcharged. undercharged. dirty. not making a good ground connection to the vehicle chassis. batteries are both new xs power d3100's and both sit at 14.7 when the cars on. so yea, everything in my car is grounded to the same place, besides the battery up front i guess...i may be wrong, but it seems like a bad idea to remove the grounding for that... the head unit is different from the one i had before which was a sloppy sony, its an eclipse brand new, never used with an amp before...new head unit time?...being broke sucks :'( maybe a negative feedback loop? thatd really suck a$$ if i had to switch 4 6x9s and 4 tweeters... hiiiiiiii2002 4runner - buncha speakers n amps n shit (gone)1994 astro - more stuffzupdate: pretty sure all the pic links in the logs are broken lol. ma slop garb build log16 12's 4th order4runner rebuild in progressclickkk meeeee!!!! 4 18's 6th orderUBL - clickyhttp://www.youtube.com/yyj11589 lots of hater kids here.

irpirate Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 ok went out again, re-sanded the grounds in the back. when i unplug the rca's the static goes away, so i have noise entering the signal path. i tried running a different rca cable down the opposite side of the car and it didnt do anything. any other ideas on what might be causing this? thanks! hiiiiiiii2002 4runner - buncha speakers n amps n shit (gone)1994 astro - more stuffzupdate: pretty sure all the pic links in the logs are broken lol. ma slop garb build log16 12's 4th order4runner rebuild in progressclickkk meeeee!!!! 4 18's 6th orderUBL - clickyhttp://www.youtube.com/yyj11589 lots of hater kids here.

irpirate Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 dunno if this matters but each channel has a 6x9 and a tweeter wired to it. should i wire it to 6x9s together and tweeters together? i feel like im talking to myself... :/ hiiiiiiii2002 4runner - buncha speakers n amps n shit (gone)1994 astro - more stuffzupdate: pretty sure all the pic links in the logs are broken lol. ma slop garb build log16 12's 4th order4runner rebuild in progressclickkk meeeee!!!! 4 18's 6th orderUBL - clickyhttp://www.youtube.com/yyj11589 lots of hater kids here.

Robert8252 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Uhm. I really wish someone else would chime in because I only know so much hands on with dealing with static. So with the car running if the iPod is hooked up the noise is gone? Did you try it with the radio pulled out of the dash? To make sure something by the radio isn't causing 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...
