Does the noise get worse when you turn your lights on? Or increase as you rev the engine? I'm assuming you're running them off an amp. It sounds like you have engine noise - usually coming from a bad earth either at the amp or deck.... let me know how it's run and I'll offer more ideas.

yes, the more i rev the higher the pitch goes this is noticed very easily when driving and changing gears. Yes, running them of an amp.

no, noise doesnt get worse when i turn the lights on, only when engine is started.

thanx

this was one of the problems you guys were unable to sort out for me shayne ... not that i am complaining though mate :)

i can say forsure though that there was no common earth on the deck & amps, also speaker wire's were ran very close to power wires (although unavoidable in some spots)

sorry .. rant over :(

problem with a suppressor is that its only a bandaid on the problem meaning it will only reduce the problem not eliminate it.

make sure all the components are earthed at the same point . then try running the splits of the head unit( that will tell you if the problem is coming from the amp or head unit. do the tweeters have the engine noise when the car is running but the head unit and amp are off, that will tell you if the speaker placement or crossover placement is wrong.when the system is wired as you have it now and you disconnect the rca lead from the amp does the noise go away, if yes move the rca lead.if no plug the rca lead back in and take power away from the amp does the noise dissapear, if yes try moving the power lead( this doesny always fix the problem). try powering the amp from a battery external of the car ( just sitting on the floor) that will tell you if the car is at fault . lastly is the amp screwed to the floor being metal if so try placing it on a pieace of wood thereby its only earth source is the earth lead.

The stupid cables have been moved all around the car!! We thought they may be running too close to each other at first and we've tried about 10 different earthing points, but I still have a slight buzzing problem...not that I really hear it anymore, I'm that used to it!!

mine is still annoying me, sounds like a bov from within the car when im changing gears. a very loud one at that. my earth lead is placed on the same plae as the earth for the battery, could this be the problem as both are bolted to the same place.

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
