tweeters making a odd sound

[king ranch]

i have a set of polk momo hooked up to a zx850.4 and giving each side 135rms and just noticed it when i have the truck key turned over but not cranked the tweets make a slight tssssss sound almost like a static sound and then when i crank my truck its even worse and thats with the HU off

when i turn the Hu on its still there and once i turn the volume up it seems gone but i cant tell since music is playing as well

i have my rca's and power wire on the same side and i am using cheap rca's walmart series so that might be the problem but wouldnt my subs and mids be making the same sound bc they arent

any idea's

thanks

turn your treble down and it should go away.....

How are your gains set? Have you messed with the EQ settings to see if you can tame the noise?

[skittlesRgood]

if its happening with the HU off then your tweeter wires must be touching metal/grounding out. check the wire for cuts or pinches.

if your HU is off then the amp is off. that means your amp is not giving the tweeters any power. so something elce is, or elce they wouldnt be making any noise rite?

i have gains set with dmm on a 1khz test tone and no my amps are hooked up in my fuse box on a spot that has power only when key turned on so when i turn my hu my amps stay on

yea i think u have to send them in but the turn around is like 3 months but 20 bux thrown the way of the tech could speed things up.

[king ranch]

hey jackass go to helll how bout that

[dumple]

send me 20 bux and ill put my self in front of the line to hell

[dumple]

but foreals change ur rcas to the other side and get some quality ones if that doesnt fix it check your wiring and mess with ur tunning while you hear it to make it go away or not

[king ranch]

if it was the rca problems wouldnt the mids and subs be making a sound as well and not only the tweets

[dumple]

would it hurt to try? never know

He seriously is a polk rep he has fixed many things for me I usually flip him like $20.

I actually had this same problem with my tweeters. For me it was because my wires were touching metal wrapped em up np.

[king ranch]

well i messed with it some more today and found out that the mid and tweet both have the sound comming from them like when i rev the engine up i can hear the engine or w/e through the speakers

so what do i need to fix this i have the rcas on same side as power wire should i re route that and try to see if that fixes the problem or get a pair of kicker rcas or knu rcas

[king ranch]

anyone got suggestions on rca's or what to do to fix the problem

[ngsm13]

[PaulD]

if they are comps, try moving the passive crossover maybe a foot or so and see if it goes away.

[king ranch]

what would that do
