weird high pitch distortion bass

[Basshead808 10+ year member]

My friends system is making weird high pitch water splashing distortion sounds. lol kind of hard to explain but when we turn on the system it plays the music for like couple of seconds but when we turn it up louder the speakers cut off and we hear the sub get softer and distortion, high pitch water splashing sounds. I was thinking it might have been speaker wires touching each other but I don't think so, We checked ground and it was good, fuses were good, amp stays on. We checked all of these and it still sounds like aliens, It is nothing to do with alternator whine. please help //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Does it only happen when you turn it up louder or will it happen if you keep it at low volume for a while?

Both, sounds like speaker wires touching other.

what kind of headunit? Could be the ground loop fuse if it is a pioneer.

My friend has the one that looks simular to the Pioneer DEH-P600UB head unit. Thanks, i'll check the ground on the HU and the fuse..

Hey thanks everyone.. We found the problem.. It was just the main battery that had a loose connection.
