    Prius High-Pitch Sound Post-Install

    I'm 95% sure it is. I've temporarily switched to the high-level output, since my amp has such inputs and that reduces the noise by about 90%. I can still hear it though, and might take it in for warranty someday. My other thought was to get an inline power filter like the Axxess AX-ANR1000 and...

    Power conditioners or HU that has built-in protections?

    Thanks for the ideas. I've tried just about every method of resolving the ground loop / bad ground issue for noise... thought the power lead filter (aka - in-line noise suppression filter) might be worth a shot... what you think?

    Power conditioners or HU that has built-in protections?

    And what are battery isolators and relays for?

    Power conditioners or HU that has built-in protections?

    I was just doing some more Google-Fu and found this... Axxess AX-ANR1000 -- is this the kinda' thing that might help?

    Power conditioners or HU that has built-in protections?

    Howdy, got a Gen2 Prius that has lots of background noise issues... with Car AV, is there anything like a power conditioner to ensure what's supplying the head-unit is clean power? Or, any head units have good built-in power systems? Got a Kenwoood KMM-X503 Excelon that I suspect has some bad...

    Prius High-Pitch Sound Post-Install

    Shielded twisted-pair RCAs did not. Haven't tried grounding the HU chassis yet. Also going to re-try ground loop isolator on the HU outputs, rather than on the amp inputs. Last resort is manually re-grounding the outer ring on the RCA outs of the HU to the HU chassis or some ground... seems...

    Prius High-Pitch Sound Post-Install

    Update, I've tried a few more things: 1. snip the HU ground and go over-seat to the amp's ground terminal --> no change, or very minor change -- was a good 18awg copper run 2. move the ground to a chassis point --> no change, or very minor change -- but, wasn't screwed down, just held to...

    Prius High-Pitch Sound Post-Install

    Thanks Popwarhomie, that did stop it... so I'm thinking to try a few things next time I pull it all apart: - group loop isolator - re-ground the head-unit direct to the chassis - try grounding the head-unit chassis to the car chassis - try grounding the head-unit to the amp (KnuKoncepts staff...

    Leverage hidden compartment in Prius gen2?

    #FYI #NotThatYouAsked I ended-up just using it for the amp. Nice place for that anyway...

    Prius High-Pitch Sound Post-Install

    Thanks @1aespinoza - I'm running 4 chan, ya. Both RCA pairs seem to carry the signal, as I tried putting the sub-out RCA pair into the front channel input on the amp and got the same noise issue. The sub doesn't carry it because of the filter, I guess? I'll try grounding the radio chassis...

    Prius High-Pitch Sound Post-Install

    Hi all, Just installed a Kenwood KMM-X503, Hertz Hpower H604, Infinity 12" Kappa sub, and Polk DB6502+ component speakers in a 2006 Prius... BUT got a high-pitch sound coming-out of the component speakers that seems to relate to electrical. - cuts-out when head-unit is off (or in standby) -...

    What amp is it? Is there a mono/stereo switch on it? Are you bridging?

    Opinion Request - Hertz H604 AB 4-channel

    Haven't been able to find much for reviews on this one, but it's up for $98CAD + 15% tax (USD$70 +tax)... planning to run 6.5 component Polk DB6502+ pair in the front and currently an Infinity KAPPA 120W.IB (link to parameters - 120w rms 300w peak) in a sealed box. Link to Hertz H 604 page...
