tweeter noise

[neumann]

ok here's the situation, i just installed my components and amp, there is one problem though, i am getting this static like noise comming from the tweeters. It is present when the voume is all the way down at zero, and it increases as i increase the volume.

Does anyone know what this could be and how i could fix this?

i hooked up the amp using the high level inputs, could i be getting a poor signal because i hooked it up with these?

help me please

The hi level inputs very well might be the cause of the problem. They are often the cause of a lot of noise.

hmmm..., im going to connect them with rca's once i take the dash off again for the signal to the sub once it gets here, (forgot to run the rca's for the sub while back there :angry10: )

hopefully that fixes the problem

If you're running an aftermarket HU with RCAs, there's no reason at ALL to run high levels, so I'd guess you're running a stock HU. In which case I'd tell you to buy an aftermarket HU. Hehe :)

the manual said that the hu didnt have rca's, then once we took it off, surprise, it had one pair. That was after hooking it up with the high levels, so the plan was to use the high levels for the front channels and rca's for the rear, looks like im changing that now. Either rca's for the front channel and high levels for the rear, or im just going to use y splits.

I'd use spliters and run RCAs only. Scrap the high level all together.

[neumann]

i'll do that then

i unplugged the high levels and the noise is still there
i will still run rca's, but what else could be causing the noise

Bad ground? Gain too high?

[neumann]
