Sparked Speaker Wire.. Now Im Hearing a Loud Whine

[s1m0n 10+ year member]

Ok

HEad Unit: Pioneer p6700mp

Subs: two 12" Kenwood Typhoons

Amps: DUAL 460 Watt Amp FOr Highs, Alpine Mono Amp for subs

Ok well my back left tweeter wasnt working.. so i kept my stereo on.. Pulled the speaker out that i had the tweeter connected too and unhooked the wires to rewire it. Well one of the wires touched the Back Metal Part of the chassis behind my back seat and it sparked.. Then ever since Its made a Loud *** WHINE Noise.. Wether the volume on the head unit is up or not..

I unhooked the highs amp that the speaker is connected to and it still makes the whine.

I turned my car on and it gets louder as the RPMs get higher

I dont know what the **** is wrong

I dont know if its my remote wire

Ive checked all my fuses.. they are all good.

I really dont want to have to take everything out of my car and rewire it again... since i just installed it about two weeks ago

Now i did run all my wires along only 1 door panel

Power Wire, Remote Wire, Front speaker wire and RCAs

It didnt do it before unit one of the speaker wires hit the chassis metal and sparked

Does anyone know what i can do or what it might be

Did you check the whole length of wire? might have melted the insulation off and allowed alternator whine to creep in on you.

The remote wire??

or the RCAs

I didnt check either becuase they are all behind a door panel and it was 11pm about an hour ago when i ****ed it up.

Too dark outside to pull my whole car apart right know

I was thinking the speaker wire, but I guess it could be RCA's too, I'd just start going down the list and eliminate as many wires as possible as being the cause.

well i actually unhooked that speaker and it still did it.

if i unhook both sets of RCAs (the ones from the sub amp and my highs amp) it goes away.

**** it looks like my day off work tomororw is gonna be spent stripping my car and rewiring the son of a bish again.

Well it must be in the RCA's. Does it only go away if you remove all of them?

Hmmm, I dunno could be the HU got shorted? Electrics are tricky like that.

pioneers are known for the whine though, so your problem might not be in your RCA's.

this is always why you unhook the negative battery terminal before you do any work on the car lol

or hell, both.. make sure they cant accidentally reconnect tho lol

I forgot about the Pioneers, they are pretty Notorious. You have a warranty?

im gonna strip my interior tomorrow and rewire the whole thing see if that does anything

I called pioneer tech support and they said when that happens the fuse just usually blows.
