bought some ferrite cores (magnets that take out noise from power cables) and put them on my wide band's red power cable. At first the noise was still there, then I squeezed the ferrite core and noticed the noise went away. a couple twist ties later, and I no longer have that stupid sound...

put the kappa four amplifier in today, and it did make the noise almost non existant. Unfortunately, if you listen very closely its still there, but way better than it was with the PDX. Keep in mind this is only if the boost and wideband gauges are connected, if i dont have those connected I...

Want to power a W6 for a few weeks while my JL Slash amp is being repaired.

I just bought a Kappa four amplifier, and once I get it, will be swapping out the PDX to see if the amp is the cause. I will update when I get the amp.

Well, in the process of trying to fix this issue I blew pico fuses in my headunit. I just got my headunit back from Pioneer and installed it. At first the ring was there again, i kept pulling my battery and rewiring, and after about 4 tries I was able to get the ring totally silent. I DID NOT...

ya, your right those forums are still down sorry, i was on the wrong ones. well this is a shot in the dark,but maybe looking at the PCB of the amp someome may know what I need to check? I opened her up, and nothing stood out as being off with a quick over...

yea, i already reached out to JL, 180 bucks! im gonna take it appar and see if I see any broken soder points.

site appears up, but I cant find his thread, any chance you could link me? I have a soldering iron sitting right here

can i fix the outputs. To the best of my knowledge I believe the speaker wires are carrying no signal or power.

OK, so I recently had to RMA my head unit, and I just got it back, and went to put everything back in, headunit works perfect, but low and behold my sub wont work. I checked all the connections. Amp has a green power light lit. I have the RCA's attached, and even tried hooking my MP3 player...

I am pretty sure I figured out what the problem is. My understanding is all pioneer headunits use Pico fuses and I probably blue them. My sound from the headunit sounds like shit, me and my brother ripped the car apart (and fatmat'd the rear deck ) and re-ran the power wire on the other...

yea, I tried grounding everywhere, ground wires in the harness/headunit are about the same size. I also ran the ground from the headunit and amp directly to the battery to see if that made a difference and it didnt. I am going to pick up some monster RCA's. Found some Extreme low noise ones...

no noise when I hook my Mp3 player up directly to the amp using RCA's.

I cut the wires as short as I could, and then electric taped the tips. I had a wideband gauge and a boost gauge, but I have since disconnected them (they are not hooked up) but I still have the sound. Only thing that makes me think its not that, is I had a pioneer amp before the alpine, and...

The biggest issue w/ grounding the head unit, is pioneer does their RCA's like this: I have four things I am going to try tomorrow to try to identify this problem. 1.) buy a 4 channel amp from bestbuy (to return later) and use it to test to see if maybe the rest of my setup just doesnt like...
