Engine noise in my speakers
Saturday, October 28, 2006 2:57 PM
All of the sudden im hearing my engine running while im driving through my woofers, my 6x9s and tweeters ... All of these components are hooked up to an amp....

At a red light, im getting this piercing noise through them too!!! Im seems as if they're damaging my speakers....

I heard about the ground loop connectors to get rid of the noise, i was jus wondering if there were other options other than this one???

THanks!!!

That is a sign of bad grounding. Make sure your grounding point is on bare metal of the vehicle
chassis. Also check to make sure your rca cables aren't pinch anywhere and keep it seperate
from the power cable. Just double check your connections and cables and if all fails, try the
ground loop isolator.

as said above alternator whine is about 90% of the time a bad ground.

also make sure that your RCA's are routed on the opposite side of the car as the power wire
