[QUOTE="Autobox_Pro, post: 6973633, member: 625527"] One of the most common causes for alt whine is due to the amplifiers power wire and the HU's rca's being ran down the vehicle NEXT to each other. Not cool. First I would make sure that the RCA's are not running across or next to any source of power. Second, if this just occurred when you shorted out the tweeter, you might have shorted out something in the amp to cause it. Also, make sure all your ground connections are clean and free of corrosion or buildup of any kind. You always want ground leads touching BARE metal. When in doubt, wire wheel the hell out of it!!
