moving your rca's has nothing to do with engine noise...the same power running through the power wire runs through the whole car as the ground

never had a whine problem with the 2 860's i used, nor do i have it with my current 880. and yes, the 880 does have a different and clearer sound than the 860. but then again, i used the auto ta/eq on my shitty stock rears and crappy kenwood coaxials so it sounds horrid. (just need to fab up kicks and i can install my new front stage).

and you can turn off the internal amp to run cooler and less noisy.

they have had issues with the pcb cable in alot of decks, hell even my 5700dvd out of nowhere started having some noise. well lots of noice, replaced the pcb cable and its good now. And have had 4-5 customers decks with the same problem over the last 6 months or so.

What is pcb cable short for?

pioneer needs to fix that problem quick!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

wrong! if your rca's are sitting next to a huge wire bundle or the power wire for your amp, whine can be inducted into them and if you move them away where they are by themselves this can often be cured.

i'd like actual verifiable proof of this. it's been a heated debate and it's a very split opinion.

please provide facts for your arguement. i really doubt that if you have somewhat decent shielded rca's you'll "induct" noise into your system because your rca's are too close to your power wire.

My 880 sucked arse //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif I wired it straight to a battery outside of the vehicle, and it still whined like a stuck pig. Waiting on the shop to get me another one to see if it does the same thing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The only fact I can provide is that initially in my car I ran the rca's under the center console next to a bunch of factory wiring and had lots of wierd whining and clicking going on, so I pulled the seats out and ran it under the center of the passenger side next to nothing and all the noises were gone. If passive crossovers are too close to say, the turn signal relay, you can get buzzing with the turn signals- I had that problem in my wife's Element, so to make a blanket statement that noise can't be inducted into the sound system by components or wiring being too close to other powered components or wiring is categorically wrong. Basic science tells us that when voltage is passed through a wire it can induce voltage in a wire next to it. These are my practical experiences and the reasons for my comment. Now you prove, with facts, that it doesn't matter where you run the rca's.

I busted my *** lookinf fo the above described noise in a new install, then found this thread. I plugged in another head unit...and no SH$7...sound gone. I would say it's the new 880 that was the problem.

Use good, shielded RCAs and this shouldn't happen.

I have the whine problem with my 960MP. Its not a bad grounding issue. The fuse blows inside the deck. I took it in to get repaired, but it blew again. Its back in the shop for that problem, plus numerous reasons. I dont want to get rid of the deck, because I love the 13 Band EQ.

Oh and grounding your RCA's will only minimize the whine. Never totally takes it away
