interfearence

[Clio]

Anybody know how to get rid of interfearence coming through my stereo I think its caused by my amp? Well annoying as the revs go up so does a loud whistle coming through the speakers!

install it all again properly?!

No seriously, just keep the amp powercables well away from any speaker wires.

Ive got power down the passenger side and speaker down the drivers.

No hummmmm, buzzzzzz or anything

Same goes for in the boot too. Route them so they go nowhere near each other.

wrap your head in silver foil

It wont work but we can have a laugh at you looking like a loony

If power/speaker cables have to cross, cross them at 90 degrees to each other!

Will give that ago, It was fine until I took out 2 amps ant the weekend then replaced them with one!

Mate i had this problem. if u fit a resistorto the alternator u will loss the sound. Used to have this prob in my clio. But had the same prob in my punto and it was to do with grounding and that

yeah i got duped by it it was that tw*t tom clio that told me grrr

 

[Bryan]

fitting a resistor will not sid you of the problem, but it will be inaudible, but still causing damage to the speakers

the problem IMHO is going to be the earth

Yeah make it as short as possible. Make sure you get a good contact - i.e. get all the paint out of the way - if there is any of course!

and not on anything electrical

ie - rear lights (a common fault)

 

[Clio]

Its not the ground as I have to amps in the boot of my car both connected to the same ground ones fine the other one is whistling!

 

[Bryan]

then the only thing that i ccan think of is the RCA canbles are too close to the speaker cables
