I'm at wits end with the sound system in my car. I have rewired it twice already and yet the problems still persist.
Here's what's happening: when no music is playing and I have the volume turned up, there is a buzzing and hissing noise that comes from the speakers. When music is playing, the buzzing/hissing noise is still there, although it's generally muffled by the music. Also, when the music is playing, there is a slight squealing/whining noise audible through the speakers.
Now, I am running the power cord directly next to the RCA cables and speaker wires. In other words, the power cable is literally zip tied to the RCA cables and speaker wires. I was told by some that this is perfectly acceptable and others that this is inexcusable. I imagine this would be what is causing my problems?
Finally, here's what I have going on:
Head unit: Kenwood KDC 152
Amp: Rockford fosgate R250x4
Speakers: (2x) Polk 6.5", (2x) Polk 5.25"
Appreciate it guys.
