VE Whining after Install

[on_d_tox]

Dare say your system isn't set up well then. Because even a 500microfarad capacitor can be used to clean the power signal in any car. Method used mainly on higher end installs in luxury cars with more computer systems in them.

There is very specific ways to run a Cap as well, You don't just slap it in an pray for the best. And a 2farad cap says fk all on "Quality"

Cheers

my system has been built over a few years the amp kits are AERPRO so is my cap and that wasnt cheap i tells ya lol neither was the rest of the system its all been professionally installed by a now EX good mate that had his own business we couldnt for the life of us figure out where the whine was comin from replaced both rca's and the whine dulled down abit (no where near as bad as it was) put the cap in not too long ago still dulled it down a notch but its still there next thing im thinkin is change my alternator maybe wat you think?

I have a full system in my series 2 sv6 that I did myself that has no whining at all...
Audio Line lc6i loc that is wedged under the ac duct behind the iq system, power coming from behind the glovebox, earth to the cig lighter ground, rcas down the center consol (d/s) and under back seat, remote turn on down the kick pannels (p/s), speaker cables down kick pannels (d/s) to a pioneer gm-d9500f 800w amp on the ski hatch... Earth to seat bolt (d/s), power up the boot lining and ran under parcel shelf to distribution block next to battery, speaker level inputs from pioneer amp to a us audio usa300z 800w mono block (amp was retaining power and causing loc and pioneer to stay on with rca connection), earth to seat bolt (p/s), power ran the same to dist block, remote daisy chained from pioneer amp, us audio 12" sub in ported box 800w max (not sure on rms), alpine spr-60c front with the crossovers mounted inside the stock speaker pods and tweeters in stock positions, alpine spr-60 rear.
Lc6i gains set to stock position and pioneer gains set to normal, fu[|{!ng kranks and crystal clear!!

Hope this helps bud#

That's twice I've seen you call your Audio Control LC6i an Audioline product... Had to correct you this time so people can find it easier

 

[Thegreatwombatski]

Ah right you are StoneX... My bad audio controll lc6i it is indeed

 

[ASxTecH]

You cant go wrong with Audio Control line converter products, I highly rate them

I got rid of my whine by a simple line filter.... but now i have a sound fluctuation with acceleration

I don't normally suggest capacitors, but try putting a big arse cap on your 12V line.

It sounds as though the change in voltage (as the alternator spins up) is affecting the sound, causing it to fluctuate. Capacitors resist a change in voltage and should therefore fix this issue.

make sure the power cable and rca + remote wires are running on opposite sides of the cab.

The battery is in the boot of a ve mate but good on you for trying

They do still have alternator wires etc. running from the engine bay to the boot
