[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8830647, member: 674149"] If you are able to, leave the head unit connected, but pull it out so the wiring is as free as possible. A pinched wire, a cable end that has pressure or force on it can cause whine. See if there is whine, give the wiring a little jiggle if you can just to make sure. Follow the wires for the short distance behind and see if there are any pinched or with broken strands. Why is your head unit not using it's original factory ground (probably through the harness)? Did you change this after getting the whine to try to get rid of it? Did you try it again after getting rid of the alt whine? Those plugs probably come out, and sound like they are basically grommets so the metal won't contact the wire. If you can reach the wiring you can also try disconnect em in pairs and just verify it's not the speaker wire, (possibly cut). Can you verify it's all the speakers causing the whine or just one or two? [/QUOTE]
