Shit i got alternator whine again

I switched out head unit and amps cuz i still got a little after grounding my RCAs on my pioneer

I'm using a brand new kenwood x794. and a new crescendo 1000c4

my car sucks and the RCAs are gonna cross the power wire at a few points in the back.

also i noticed i get less noise when I don't run them down the middle

i know this shits been asked a bajillion times. i dont get it. i thought only pioneers had pico fuse

What's wrong, didnt the thunderdome have enough opportunities for you to stroke your e-thug ego this morning? I cant remember the last time you had one single piece of valuable info for a car audio topic.

My first thought was a ground loop issue as well.

noise is induced in one way or another.. you simply have to completely isolate the RCAs.. Id suggest you get some higher quality RCA if you have no other options..

Im still waiting for fiber-optic inuput/output...
