[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 162897, member: 541383"] thats raising the noise floor but if the noise is present adding voltage will only make it worse. see all voltage is really in this scenerio is potential volume (it can be made into more though) you have a regular sine wave (signal) all the increased voltage is gonna do is make it bigger (louder) if within that signal there be ANY undesirables making the wave bigger INCREASES the problem. now there are several ways noise gets into a system depending on what it is (more likely than not) adding voltage is bad. part of what i did with my nightmare was make a line-driver out of an amp then used a old clark audio noise gate to try and cover it up (my horns are very sensitive 112db at 1w/1m) instead of gettin all "techy" what i shoulda just ripped everything down and rewired it with new stuff and tested it. would have taken far less time (prolly 2 days) and cost less. all i got out of this was a dnf at world finals (1rst round sq and a crappy patched score in the second with fried inputs on my horn amp lol) what even makes me more angry is i had beat 3 of the cars at finals (thaT PLACED TOP 5) already earlier that yr quite handly.
