[QUOTE="barryboy, post: 1449864, member: 563736"] Recently resolved my sound system noise after a 2 year search! I took my alternator apart for the fourth time and noticed a small burnt field connection to a diode that evidently been sparking a little more over time eventually causing corrosion I could see. I put in a new rebuilt alternator and it perfect now. No matter who I talked to at local shops, they wanted an arm and a leg to trouble shoot but most said it was the nature of vans etc. or wanted to sell me a noise filter. I rejected that notion as the system had been clean before. I hate the look that some of these "audio professionals" give you when they are asked to solve a problem rather than sell a massive system to a teenager spending dads money. I look for a clean system as I am half deaf as well as half dead from the music and experience of the 60's and 70's. Unfortunately, my learning curve with auto stereo has been costly as I managed to screw up my Pioneer head unit by sending it to a certified repair person who "resoldered a few loose grounds on the circuit boards" without resolution. It never did play well after that experience so I bought an Alpine unit. I also rewired my van a number of times using different wiring configurations as well as trying to sheild all the wires under the dash that could be emitting noise. As I say, I have truly learned alot and hope to finish putting back all the dash parts and carpet etc to get my wife off my back! Good luck and appreciate your ears, you will need them for the long haul! [/QUOTE]
