Engine noise through speakers
Hi all,
I have a vt calais and am currently installing a single din pioneer H/U, i am also running a coustic amp, when i turn my car on i get a shocking loud screeching/ringing noise through all channels even on cd's can anyone explain??? I have my power cable seperate to my speaker wires ect...
The head unit's RCA ground is most likely damaged. You will need to have the head unit looked at by Pioneer.

What type of RCA cables are you using? If they are cheap and don't have enough shielding, they will pick up the frequencies of the engine.

u dont need 2 get poineer 2 look at it just take it 2 ne1 who works on car audio gear i got mine dun (pioneer 7650-DEH) the other day and all it was they replaced was the circuit board protector and resoldered the PCB contacts thats it only cost $40 it would b cheaper again if u have a pioneer head deck that has the circuit board on top instead of on the bottom as they have 2 pull it all appart 2 get 2 the bit they need 2 replace
just remember pioneer always have a tendancy 2 blow these parts (along with the grounding track which is in the same loop) is 2 disconnect ur car battery wen ur fiddling with ur RCAs and speaker wires
i had the some problem with mine and all it was a bad ground on the amp fixed that and no more werred sounds out of my speakers give that a try dude
Pioneer will fix it properly, anyone else won't.
Hi all i'm using good quality RCA's and it's a brand new deck which i did have my battery disconnected, think i'l just get someone to have a look. Thanks to all for your quick replys
The RCA fuse (internal) can blow randomly.

Bloke who did mine fixed my Head deck nicely and he wasnt a pioneer dealer so i dont think u can say only pioneer can only fix it properly lol ne1 who has the tech mind can do it
wrx... The fuse needs to be replaced with a link so that it doesn't blow again. If he replaced it with a fuse, it will blow eventually.

i know that but u were sayin that ONLY pioneer will fix it sorry if u got it mixed up with ur last response
Nah, anyone can fix it but most places will replace the fuse andthe fault will come back. It's a bad design and doesn't need a fuse in place, so just link it out.

no worries mine has actually blown b4 must b wat they did wen they 1st fix it but i took it 2 a pioneer technician then and they only charged me $15 2 do it i thought that was really cheap i was expecting at least $80 or so. prolly y it blew again but this bloke who did mine didnt say nething bout changing the fuse in it he just said he replaced the parts i already mentioned and said it was all in a loop (with the grounding track) so i guess he did wat u just said? will find out soon enough if it blows again lol least i know wat it is haha
