Sounds like a ground issue, somethings running in loop??

are the speakers amplified or running off the head unit?

try grounding your headlights to your carburetors.

stfu, or at least put some sort of smiley to indicate your sarcasm

Try this: Disconnect the remote wire and jump the power wire to the remote terminal to turn on the amp without the headunit on.

If it doesn't make the noise, then your head unit is to blame. If it does continue to make the noise, you will need to double check the amp's ground

No reason to get upset. He can easily isolate the problem. Use a different remote to turn on amp. If it still happens, use an external source(rca connected to Ipod). And if it still happens. Move your amplifier ground. Then rerun the power.

I doubt it will get that far. Probablt the rcas

wao. a noobie telling others to use search and post dumping unnecessary information that isn't helping the situation.. go away.

on a serious note it could be a grounding issue.

i myself have a noise when i turn on my head lights but only happened after i installed my HID kit. though the noise only happens for 3-4 seconds of the initial turn on then goes away.

when did this start happening?

thanks i'll give these ideas a shot tomorrow when i work on my car... its been happening since i did my install last week i just havent driven at night enough to realize it. its prob my amp ground. we took off the hatch hook and basically sandwiched the ground in between it and the frame. i also have my rcas run right next to my power wire, so i may rewire them to the other side of the car to see if that helps w anything...
