Causes of static?

[aamiryou 10+ year member]

I'm trying to install my new pro60s... everything has found its home (speakers/crossovers/amp, etc), but I am getting a ton of static.

My old set-up was simply a set of CDT CL-61s to the stock head unit/amp. The new set-up consists of a Kicker KX350.4 bridged to two channels, which are wired with a knukonceptz KOL-AK4 amp kit to the stock head-unit using a line output converter (whatever Best Buy sells) and fed to the pro60s. Oh and the car is a '93 Mitsu 3000GT, if that matters

Any ideas for some places to check? I had the help of a friend who works in mobile audio yesterday but am going to be by myself today, and have pretty much run out of ideas... any help would be appreciated, thanks

static and whine can come from almost anywhere in a car, wire running next to another wire is suspect, or bad grounds.

I just had the same problem about an hour ago. Try moving ur crossovers away from any wires. solved my problem.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

run your rcas straight to your amps(without hiding it) and see if that helps. most of my noise problems were within the rcas.
