1Harringtona Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hi About 6 months ago I decided to install an amp and a few subs into my car. All was fine until a few hours ago when I was coming home and I hit a small bump (man hole cover) and my speakers went crazy, they were whining very loud, loud enough that I could not hear the music at all. so when I got home I checked all the wires to see if any were disconnected and yes one of the speaker wires wwas but when I connected the wire back to the speaker the noise continued. I tried conecting one speakers at a time and the noise persisted then I tried turning the gain on the amp down (didnt work) I tried switching fuses in the amp (didnt work). Basically disconected every wire and connected them again (didnt work). Also I would like to add this sound is not coming from the alternator as I fixed that problem a long time ago and this whine is 100% worst. Also this sound even happends when I have the car running solely on battery Any advise would be appreciated as I have exhausted all of my ideas.

ohhenrygsr Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 hey Al your problem is that you ran your Power, Remote wire, RCA or Speaker wires from the front of the car to the rear all on one side of the car. You have to run Power and Remote wire on one side and the RCA or speaker wires on the other side. The Power wire is interfering with the RCA wires that's why when you step on the gas you will notice that the whining sound will go with the engine's RPM. Make sure you also have a solid ground to the body of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhaman Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 That really sounds like a bad connection to me, did you check the connections at the back of your cd player/tuner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Harringtona Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I have checked the wires at the back of the cd player. Also the wires like I said in my first post I didnt have a problem with the whining from when I stepped on the gas as the whining happens before I even turn the car on.

Fisherman Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Maybe your hearing was also jarred after listening to the loud music while going over the manhole cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 1st check the grounds. Is it an alternater type whine or is it a buzzing or crackling sound? It could be a number of things I would need to know what equipment is in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Harringtona Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) After blowing two of my speakers with that whining(buzzing) noise I finally think I found out what was wrong, I was over loading the amp even though I had 3 subs and 4 speakers hooked up to it for a while now. So now I am left with 3 subs and 2 speakers thanks for all the help anyways PS. all of my equipment I have in the car is 1 Amp from xs cargo 3 subs from xs cargo 4 (now 2) speakers from wallmart wiring kit (I think 8 gauge) from future shop Edited March 31, 2009 by Pikehunter Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
