bangity liked post by SouthArk370Z On thread : Noise only when Engine is running (Buzzing sound - increase with gain boost)

As far as I'm concerned, you are the Resident Audio Guru. :tiphat: I'm pretty sure that amps are much better than what I'm used to working on at rejecting noise so that noise on the outputs is not a...

Yep as I said and Ron reinforced, it's your amp. If this noise really bothers you buy some quality amps with a lower noise floor.

The quality of speaker wire (gauge, conductor material, insulation) has nothing to do with picking up noise. It is an antenna. Using shielded and/or twisted pairs can help. Other than the level of...

Trust me, its your amp. If RCAs are disconnected, there is nothing else in the signal chain other than the amp, speaker wires, and speakers themselves. There is always the slim chance your speaker...

if the buzzing continues when your rcas are unplugged, its definitely coming from your amp. Try grounding the amp to a different spot, if that doesn't cure it, you may have gains set too high.

That black cable in the head units harness should ONLY be going to a metal chassis somewhere behind the head unit not to the rca's. Swap to RCA's

Why use RCA (consumer line level) vs high-level? RCA cables are shielded whereas high-level is seldom shielded. Amps usually use a resistor network to drop the high-level signal to the 1 VP-P that...

First off you're using too small of a power wire (10 gauge) to power your sub amp needs to be at least 8 gauge. Second, your grounding location did you grind off the paint and expose bare metal?...

A few things: 1) If the buzzing/noise (interference) was there before, adding another amp just amplified it (no pun intended). 2) You can't ground the audio outputs, each speaker has a +/- that...

They both have a lot of experience with modern systems and have been very helpful to others. Although the basics haven't changed over the years, some of the details have (we never had to worry about...

bangity liked post by RonRizz On thread : 2-way component system wiring with Joying Android HU

Its likely that the factory woofers have a higher sensitivity rating than the polk woofers, which would make them play louder with less power. The reason there is no change with the sub level...

In my experience aftermarket parts were covered by the other person's insurance company. They paid for the diffuser and rear spats. They will not pay for the Nismo bumper. Only OEM. You have to...

That would only apply if he made the claim with his own insurance company. If the accident was someone else's fault, their insurance company has to pay to fix any damage regardless of whether the...

depends..some insurances dont cover any aftermarket parts so if you havent bought a special coverage, you will only get reimbursed for the cost of the stock part.
