Hey guys,

Basically when I'm not playing beats I will get a low volume, high pitch whine through my speakers and the pitch will change dependent on engine rpm.

Higher rpm = higher pitch

Lower rpm = lower pitch

Not really too bothered bout this one but would be interested to find out why it happens.

You have a ground loop. There should be plenty of information on these forums and the web in general about how to solve it now you know the term. Listed in order, the simple & typical things you'll want to check are:

* Power & RCA/speaker cabling to amplifer running down opposite sides of the car

* Adequate grounding from the amplifier to the chassis

* Adequate grounding from the headunit to the chassis

* Adequate grounding from the battery to the ciassis

There are also ground loop isolators you can add in, but they will compromise the sound quality & if your wiring is right you should never need them (In all my years of installing amplifiers, etc - I've never needed them).

Thanks heaps mate!

Did some searches and wasn't getting any results - probably due to me not knowing the terminology. My battery is not currently clamped down so I might start there and get it clamped down first as this may be compromising the battery to chassis earth.

also Check the engine to chasis earth

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
