[QUOTE="da12b, post: 1816604, member: 548763"] You have what is called "Alternator Wine." I also have that in my car as well as my other car, which is now history. Sold it. I had connected the cont. and the power wire of the head unit to an 8 GA cable and directly to the pos. terminal of the battery (make sure it is fused with the correct fuse rating for the wire/cable like the power cable to your amp). The noise was gone -OR- barely audible. I will do the same with my current ride. The reason for this is due to the fact that the cont. and power wire wired together is thicker then the OEM power wire. Therfore it will have feedback. (Feedback is the "Alternator Wine.") Before you go out and buy a bigger GA. cable, check ALL OF YOUR GROUNDS first. It might just be the problem. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
