Yukon Unregistered guest | did this problem just start to happen out of no where or has it always been like this?? |

Silver Member Username: WinnSanta Ana, California US Post Number: 102 Registered: Jun-05 | If you really sure that you have checked all the Ground wire, Signal cable and power are running separately, Antenna. The most common problem here is proper gain setting on your HU and AMP. You have to make sure that the HU audio signal produce more than 1v so the noise will not get into your audio signal. Turn the Gain at your AMP to "0" Set the volum at your HU to 75% (you should not heard anything including the noise since your amp gain at "0"). Slightly turn the amp's gain to your normal listen level. What we just try to do is get the most audio signal voltage out from your HU. The higher audio signal voltage, less noise go into it. |
