have you tried connecting the ipod directly to the amps to rule out the speakers/amps wiring or see if its the hu?

Sometimes that is the only way. There are several good sites out on the net that walk you through step by step to troubleshoot alternator whine:

http://www.termpro.com/articles/noise.html

I've used them both to great effect...at the very least they help you isolate the source of the noise and then you can start trying different ways to defeat it. It beats guessing and spending 10 times as long trying to correct it.

My alternator whine, as minimal as it was, was finally fixed when I performed the "Big 3" and removed the OEM chassis ground from the block to the chassis. I created a new grounding point and when I disconnected the OEM one, poof, whine gone.

if it happens for both, then rule out the Ipod, thats not the issue.

if it happens on both amps, then rule out the amps, speakers, RCA's, Ground connections and voltage, thats not the issue.

Only thing left is the source material, and the HU.

what kind of HU is it? - I have an alpine that ill sell you for a decent price.

maybe you have a fricked h/u. i got a "brand new" kenwood deck with my pickup. but it was broken. it said it was playing but i could never get it to play. it needs repair. if you have a spair h/u use it to see if thats it. thats what i did

Still under warranty? My 1st Alpine CDA-9887 was f*cked and it was replaced no problem. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif
