I installed a aftermarket radio for my dad in his honda civic 2011, I get a noise that last for a few seconds then goes away when I start the car(Maybe just because it's an ebay no name radio), but the more annoying problem is the humming that increases when I press the gas pedal.
I have grounded the radio to itself instead of the factory wiring which has worked before on amplified systems, I have not had experience/installed radios with non-amplified systems that run the speaker wires to the radio instead of a amp like my volvo i had the same issue that was fixed by grounding the amp to the radio itself...
I just recently tried to tackle the problem with a "band-aid" 12v engine suppressor just now and the problem is still there which is getting annoying haha.
I wanted to ask the nice community here if it's safe to maybe ground the speakers wires together to the cars body instead of the radios ground wires? As I tried finding answers but could not find any.
The only ground problem i could possibly find is just those speaker wires, I have two RCA outlets and I tried to ground them out using some copper but they don't seem to be the problem either.
