Toady Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'm getting terrible ground noise coming through my speakers, it was faint but it got louder once I put in my cadence ceq773 equalizer, anything to fix this? I've tried ground loop isolaters, I've tried grounding the rcas, grounding the ground loop isolater, I've tried almost everything. My amps are grounded to the rear strut towers, and grinded to bare metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My amps are grounded to the rear strut towers, and grinded to bare metal try taking the grouds off of the strut tower and moving them to a different area. at least just for temp to see it it gets rid of the noise.

skittlesRgood Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 ive had problems with ground loops for a while. recently, i changed all my RCAs and it went away. but the funny thing is, i found out it was coming from one 6' rca going from my MS-8 to the rear speaker amp. but the noise was in all the speakers.

First of all, make sure that all your wires carrying power, like your remote, power wire, etc are on the completely opposite side of the car from your wires carrying an audio signal, such as RCA's. Then I would move the ground from the strut tower, to say, drill a hole in the floor of your trunk and ground it to the frame. And make sure your ground wire for your amp is just as big, or bigger than your power wire. Never compromise on a ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I would agree with the above. X3 There and the seat belt bolt are just not good areas for what ever reason from my findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toady Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I really have no other place to ground to without cutting a hole in the floor and running it under the car to the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel4055 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Yeah you don't have a frame if you have a car. Best idea wold be to ground at the strut towers like you have already or run a full length ground. Quote Rest In Peace mother.
