Teh Noise

Yeah, it came back today. i get this high pitched noise every once and a while and i'm kinda wondering whats causing it and how to stop it..

a few things:

- The basically noise disables the door speakers (or speaker as it is now), it plays so low that you can't really hear it without fading it to the right.

- The noise increases as i rev

- The noise goes away if i turn the deck off.

- Power & Signal cables are ran next to eachother... i didn't have this problem at all with my last setup.

equipment: 94 saturn sl1, Pioneer DEH 560MP, Dayton tweeters & memphis coaxils, Alpine MRP-F240 for the door speakers/tweeters, 2 Elevation Comp 10" subs powered by Hifonics TX1005D @ 2 ohms.

My guess its either an issue with the power and signal wires being close... or a ground problem. My actual ground should be good, but there may be a problem at my ground distrobution block (1/0 kompression wire to th eblock, 4 & 8 guage to the amps.

more soon

come to think of it, i did use some cheap RCA's with my alpine amp because i didn't have time to order them from knukonceptz... good point.

Probably the deck. I have seen so many Pioneers cause so much noise.

pioneers are habitually noisy decks and it seems the more expensive they get the more noise they can make.....

that being said i think you have something going to ground....hence the noise and decreased output....see if you can create the noise and while it is making it check things like speaker wire and such for continuity to ground

well.. . i was able to hear both my pioneers read the disc and stuff. but ironically the more expensive one could be giving me this noise, lol. what do you mean smoker.. I really hope its a ground issue. i want to replace the deck but i want to get a nice one one.

The more expensive ones are even worse. My $1700 nav unit was loud as hell.
