Just installed my splits in the front and hooked them up to amp and when i turned power on the tweeters started humming.

I dont think much audio came through them at all, all i could here was this rather high pitch hum.

I have a R33 skyline, the RCA leads are running down the middle with the remote wire and speaker wire, and pop out near battery :thumbsup:

Maybe that is why i get it? (being near battery)??

Where do you guys have all your wires running?

If the RCA cables are no where near ANY power cables (not just the stereo ones), then check the location of the crossovers. Sometimes crossovers can induce noise into the sound stream if they're mounted to close to larger power cables.

The crossovers are in the door pockets, as that was the only place they would fit lol. Would any of the cables in the door cause this? Rcas run down the middle of the console past gearstick and then up the battery side of the back seat and through a gap in behind battery. I have put the cables as far away as possible from the battery but maybe is that why? being resembly close to battery?

Hey dude

This is a common problem.

Make sure that all of the GND connections are good (ie Head unit, Amp, Battery)

Look at getting RCA's that are twisted and shielded.

If all else fails you can get a noise filter

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
