No worries Shannon. If you ever need anything in the future please don't hesitate to call and I'll be happy to set you up with whatever you need. Like I said before, sorry there was any mix up in the first place!

Does any1 know how i can reduce the static noise coming from my tweeters? It only happens when i start on the iginition.

thanx

[Guest SHAYNE]

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.

[Nozila]

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.

[Guest SHAYNE]

Check that your amp is earthed at bare metal (not primed) on an obvious metal point. Maybe also run a wire from the earth on the deck to the same point. If you are running more than one amp, make sure they are also earthed at the same point. See how you go.

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

[Guest SHAYNE]

You managed to get rid of the engine noise now tho didn't you?

[shannon]

sorry bout last post, good example why i shouldnt get on the net after too many beers!!

its not 100% but its much better yeah

cheers

No probs. If you try the things I suggested to Nozilla, that should help.

[Steve]

cant you get some sort of supressor to stop the whirring. I had it on the last car, and it was a $20 joey that went off the battery?

[Miss*33]

I got a noise suppressor and it made the noise worse...!! Dunno if anyone else has had any joy with them either from what I've heard.....

[Guest SHAYNE]

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.

[Miss*33]

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!!

[Guest SHAYNE]

MISS 33 WHAT DOES YOUR SYSTEM COMPOSE OF?

[TIMMMAYYY]

yea caplocks button... again

[Guest SHAYNE]

sorry

[Miss*33]

Yeah NO YELLING!!

Its exactly the same system that came out of my other car and it never buzzed, so dunno what the problem is..but like I said it doesn't really annoy me anymore....probably a nasty amp or something.

[Nozila]

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.
