Weird noises.

[Ubiquity]

I get an odd, deep tone coming from my door speakers about ever 11 seconds while driving. It happens regardless of if I'm playing music or not, but only when my car is in motion. I don't know much about speakers, was hoping someone could shed some light on this issue.

grund loop issue

Honda Accord Coupe, loud enough to vibrate your pant leg, and it seems to travel around all of the speakers.

Maybe it's an audio ghost?

ground loop. or another possible wiring issue

what kind of upgrades to the system have you done? is it all stock? I wouldnt suspect a ground loop they typically happen at a higher frequency. but more info on the system would help.

The only thing that is stock is the head unit. JL 12" W6, four JL C5 component mid ranges, 2 JL component tweeters, Memphis Audio Belle amp 2100.

What kind of LOC are you using with your stock head unit? Is it a cheap azz one without a ground wire? If yes, then the RCA's that are coming out of it are not grounded and are picking up interference.

I've no idea what you're talking about. I talked it through with the installation shop and they said to bring it in as soon as I'm in the area and they'll fix everything. See, I had a full system installed in my car in three days and then left to Ft. Carson Colorado. Never had a chance to iron out the kinks with them, and I kind of rushed the install.
