Slight speaker buzz question

[quietfly]

your getting alternator whine. the first step is to separate your power and signal, if you still have it after that, then a ground loop isolator might help, as well as a capacitor. Also try re-grounding the headunit and any other sources you have. also make sure the ground from the battery to the engine block is nice and clean and not corroded. and finally a big three kit never hurts either.

I was going to try and re run my RCA cables today and see if that doesnt fix the problem. Ill report back once I get them re run and let you guys know how it turned out! Thank you

 

[quietfly]

let us know

They still buzz!! Its almost not noticable. But it is and it annoys the shit out of me! Haha

Did you ever get a fix for the whine? I am having the same issue. I've got the power running down the passenger's side with the RCA and input running down the driver's side but still have noise when the truck is running.

It didnt get rid of the noise %100 but its definitely a lot better than it was. You can still hear a barely audible buzz when there is no music.

RCA cable input are always on the opposite side of amp to keep them apart from power and ground. The rule is keep them at leased 6'' away from the RCA's I ran my RCA's down the drivers side then used a straitened coat hanger to run them over the head liner and down to amp rack in cargo area. I also have a silencer that is inline with the RCA's to catch any possible interference. You may want to make sure the RCA's are not close to the fuse block panel or starter wires(under steering column).

My power wire runs down the driver side and my RCA cables go down the passanger side. I think that my slight speaker buzz comes from the RCAs being close to all the starter and alarm wiring under the steering column like you said.
