Picking up noise from engine
Hey, just wanted to check something.. I hooked up my second amp a bit dodgily until i get my new wiring, i 'piggy back' wired one amp to the other, since then been picking up signal from the engine. Its like a whining noise that increases as you accelerate, gets louder and higher pitched. once i re do the wiring properly with 4awg, distro blocks etc, this should go away yeah? Anything i can do to stop it for the meantime?
Cheers.

Not a valid input....
perhaps it will go away....perhaps it won't. Not sure dude. just have to wait and see.
You put you left foot in, your put your right foot in , you take your left foot out and you slide it all about!
no worries thanks mate, any dieas what else might help?

no worries mate, i'm re doing all the wiring properly with 4awg soon so hopefully that'll do it

yeah honestly dude, there is a few things you can do to try and get rid of it but the reality is it'll be s much easier to just re-do the whole wiring. DOn't rofget to keep your RCAs away from the power cab;e. Run them on either side of the car preferably.

yeah thats what i was thinking mate, ijust posted it up cus it was quiet on here and i thought some people might have some quick fixes haha. i've got everything running on appropriate sides etc, just need the cash for the wiring!
Cheers man.
Running the RCA cables together with the power/other cables picks up engine noise. If that is really bad you should run the wires on separate sides of the car
I build websites for cheap.
cheers mate, i'm running them on opposing sides already
Hmm this is a hard one then. I take it your still having the problem so ill have a search for ya.

dont worry about it too much mate, it started once i piggy back wired my two amps together so once i re do the wiring properly with 4awg and a distro block etc, i rekon it should be sweet. or hope so at least haha
Hey man,
Make sure power is one side a memory other side, Also that they dont run straight past the ECU. But i think re check the eathing and also that you have them the right side, because if not they will get that noise

Guys its not a power / RCA / ECU problem, it started after he piggybacked the second amp off the first amp, he didnt run any new power or RCA cables so obviously its not that.Originally Posted by sweefu
sweefu, i think you'll have to put up with it untill you wire it up properly
