How annoying.

Drank one of those 5 hour energy extra strengths before work and still feeling it a little.. Just wanna go outside and finally do that big 3 i've been dreading and move my ground to try and get rid of the alternator whine. But its 1115 at night. Maybe tommorow..

What makes me mad though. I used to have no alternator whine. THen i thought i was selling my car, removed all my stuff including amp, speakers, sub, And pulled all the wires. Found out i wasn't selling it, Then put it all back in, took me like 6 hours and i got this shitty alt whine since. It used to be grounded to a bolt in the trunk. I drilled a hole and scraped paint and grounded it to the thin floor of the trunk and now i get the whine.. Maybe ill move my grounds back tommorow and see if that helps. If not ill put 4g in place of my old grounds. Is it bad to have 8g in for power and 4g out for ground?

i have it to.. Can't rid it.. my alt makes the noise and I guess it goes through the power wire..? I popped the hood and could hear it as I lifted the throttle.. what was really crazy was my speakers that were on the amp grounded to the battery make the worst noise..

As long as you're awake you could use this time to learn how to spell "tomorrow".

I think mine comes from the amp.. Gonna troubleshoot it all tommorow after school. And i feel like doing the big 3 before it starts to get very cold out. Got the 0g and the fuse holder. It's been sitting in the trunk for a few months.

I think 8ga is a little thin to be running power to anything, good amp to speaker wire but battery to amp or amp to ground? i think it's a bit too thin.

I doubt thats whats causing the whine though, disconnect the HU and see if you still get the whine then you can tell if it's audio related

nights a good time to do stuff in FL it's actually kind of cool, 75 out right now. But forget trying to do anything during midday lol, @ 95+

haha i hate workin when its hot out. I wired up all back up 5+ hours in the beating sun, Granted it was like 80 degrees only, but i got a hell of a burn haha. Tomorrow i'm gonna try and isolate the problem. I wanna say that it did it without the rca's connected but its been a while. I remember at one time i had a very high frequency hiss coming out of the back speakers. Only when i plugged in 2 sets of rca's though. It has moved to alternator noice though.. Very odd.

Change your ground to the 4g you have. On little cars i like to ground amps out as close to the main frame as i can. Alot of times you have to go under the car though.

Yeah i bolted from on the trunk floor and then went under the car and bolted it down tight. Scraped all the paint too... Gonna try bolt on the top of the trunk again, See if that changes anything. I wish it was easier to run wire through my car. Like even 2g would be better than this 4 im running.
