Anyone know how to get rid of Radio "wirring"? When engine is on?

[xXEclipse]

Ive heard that its from bad radio installation, anyway when my radio is on,(car is off) it plays fine. But if the engine is running there is a faint High pitched wirring sound that matches with my revs, does anyone know how to fix it?

Bad radio ground, tear it out and ground it again...

 

[Misterbeechy]

yup! or get a noise filter ebay it! usually when you use multiple amps like i do

My money is on what 98spyder said. bad ground. It is probably grounded in a stupid area or the screw/bolt came loose. Find it and ground it a bolt that bolts into the floor. That's where I grounded mina anyways, and I have no noise what-so-ever.

I've never had to use a noise filter, and I've used multiple amps many times...just need good grounds...Misterbeechy you need me to ground your sh*t for you??? just playin, how many amps you running?????

guess you dont need a shift light in that car

What kind of spark plug wires do you have on the car?

 

[xXEclipse]

I really don't know how many, i didn't do the installation i bought it like this..

 

[98spydereugene]

It's not spark plug wires trust me, let not point him in the wrong direction. If your hearing it through the radio its engine noise because of a bad ground. I've been building stereo's 10+ years, this is an easy answer, you have a bad ground at your radio/cd player....

chuck i just 'd on the floor cause it's true my old eclipse did the same thing when i didn't have any music going on my subs but the radio on

 

[xXEclipse]

is it the ground behind the head unit or the one on my amp?

Ground behind head unit, but to be safe redo the grounds on both of them making sure they contact clean non-painted metal...

Ya definitely take those screws out, cut the wire and reattach a connector and screw in with one good screw, make sure to sand off all the paint and get bare metal...hopefully that helps..

 

[xXEclipse]

I didnt change the connector it looked ok, but i changed it and put one good screw and it seems like it went away a little bit, Im thinking that its partly the ground with the headunit aswell

 

[98spydereugene]

I would definitely redo that ground as well then...sounds like your making headway....

Are you using an aftermarket amp as well? I was having the alternator noise as well and my amp ground was corroded to hell. Also if you run RCA wires and I think speaker wires near or along the power wire you will get static too.

Perhaps try a better brand or higher quality (shielded and twisted) cables only as long as they need to be to reach the amp.

 

[98spydereugene]

Ya you don't want your wires to cross at all with an amp, you can run them in parallel just don't cross...

 

[xXEclipse]

Oh crap, i think they are running next to the power cord... Ill take a pic tomrrow in the daylight, Ill see what I can do, Yes it is an aftermarket amp. Came with the car when i bought it

 

[98spydereugene]

I always just route mine on opposite sides of the car, makes for more work but its worth not having engine noise....
