Wanna hear the most annoying sound

[partyongarth 10+ year member]

Then come to my house and listen to the high pitch whistle sound coming from my speaker.I have installed many systems in many different make and model cars and have come across my fair share of problems.

So far what I have done to try and narrow down the problem... To start the noise is only in the right passenger side(front and back), to begin I had my speaker wire(s) and power wire running down the same side. Today I moved my the speaker wire(s) from the right side to the left side, and ran the wire through the center area. whistle was still there, so I double check to see if my speaker wire was touching any type of power wire. So then I switched out the crossover no luck just to see. So Then I took out the tweeter from my left side and hooked up directly to the crossover.... Still whistling then I went to my amp switched the inputs around //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif didn't work. Let me break down how I have my speakers wired, my front 2 speakers are running off the amp, my 2 rear (factory) speakers are running off the head unit. Another thing that is odd is that when i have my key set to the AUX position no noise, as soon as I turn it on it the noise comes. When I have key in the AUX position and I have a battery charger hooked up I get the noise. I don't see how the power wire running along the right side would make the hole right side have this noise. I have triple checked my power wire it's not with 2 feet of anything, the only thing that is touching the power wire is the remote turn on.

This whistling sound is stuck in my head I have been hearing for the last 3 hours, so if any of you guys have any ideas please help me out ill try anything.

How do you have the amp grounded?

Ditto for the head unit...

A bolt in the back I sanded of the paint its a solid ground, Don't think it would be the ground hence I would hear the noise on both sides not just right.... But I could be wrong.

I could understand that if it was on both sides, but I just don't get it. I just had my friend come over, which he does this for a living and he was stomped

defiantely sounds like it could be a head unit issue, bad rca's may make noise. if you have an mp3 palyer try hooking it directly to your amp and see if the noise stops

My buddy thought that too, but I explain to him that before I ever had an amp, I had my HU hooked up to all my factory speakers VIA that harness and such. No noise but after I put my amp in the noise came I going to try and switch out the RCA tomorrow. I also don't think its the HU because when I have the key in the AUX position no noise it only happens when I have the car running ? I am so confused about all and I thank all you for your help.

I have an i pod how do I hooked that up to my amp.

Headphone to RCA connection.

If noise started after amp install, it makes sense that it is an rca problem or amp problem. The mpe player direct with car on will help like advised by speed freak
