pioneer alt whine

[andrewmoore13]

ok so i know this has been posted... i just dont have time to sort though all the useless posts, so...

i have a premier HU and i just hooked up my 2-channel amp. i get a constant hum and alt whine. does any one know of some unconventional ways of getting rid of this? or do i have to get it fixed by pioneer?

ground your rcas?

i am pretty sure that and making sure the amplifier ground is in a good secure/paintless area are the only things that you can do

Ill tell you what worked for my Pioneer 6900UB. A single "ground loop isolator" installed on a pair of RCA's.

It costs about $5 and its part number is like PAC1 or something. My friend recently advised me about a better one but i wrote the part number down at work, i can post it on monday



It's a $5 band aid that works. That whine is quite annoying.

Its preferred to install the ground loop isolator at the RCA's behind the deck, i heard, but I quickly did mine at the RCA's into the 4 channel amp, and it worked so well that i dont even feel like fixing anything

pioneer decks are well known for blowing there earth tracks on the rca's (mostly front output)

Did anyone think that maybe it is his amp with the problem?? Where is the deck and amp gournded??

[andrewmoore13]

i did all that still not working... whats this ground loop isolator you speak of? and what are the down sides? aka why is it only a band-aid?

you grounded the RCA's and it didnt work, or you checked your grounds?

I wouldn't get a isolator. It's a bandaid because it removes the RESULT, not fixing the problem. A bad ground or your HU is the problem, the noise the result.

[andrewmoore13]

ground is solid... RCA's grounded. amp is not the problem. help?
