Silver Member Username: Bump05We Stay Fly, 18 SX USA Post Number: 542 Registered: Aug-06 | that shouldnt harm it at all but the whine could be from her hu or some wiring problem..cause i had a wine everytime i rev'd the enigine cause of my hu or re wired everything good and did grounds over powers over checked rcas and it stopped...that or for some reason the alt is going bad...and sorry bout the grusome i mean grusome "mouth" i hate that |
Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 1449 Registered: Mar-06 | Its a ground issue. Try running a ground directlty from the bat neg to the HU neg, and put a small whip off that to the HU chassis. |

Gold Member Username: MixneffectOrangevale, Ca. USA Post Number: 1262 Registered: Apr-05 | Some people think that Alpine has reduced their pre out voltgae due to this problem. |
Gold Member Username: MixneffectOrangevale, Ca. USA Post Number: 1263 Registered: Apr-05 | Try and install a noise supressor on the HU (+) wire and see if that helps. |

Gold Member Username: MixneffectOrangevale, Ca. USA Post Number: 1270 Registered: Apr-05 | Naw... Its like playing chess. Sometimes you just need to step back from the intensity, and take a look from far away. Sometimes outsiders can see a solution to the problem because they are not in the thick of things. It happens to me all the time. Its usually something very simple, just not obvious right off the bat. |
Silver Member Username: Naledge503Qnited States of FI Ca... Post Number: 770 Registered: Jun-06 | Yep, when you have a good amount of knowledge, you automatically think the worst and forget about the simple things. |
Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 1467 Registered: Mar-06 | Well???? what you find out? did you fix it, it may be easier to just get a new girl. |

Bronze Member Username: LuisdelbronxBronx, NY USA Post Number: 65 Registered: Jan-06 | Try the amp in another car, and if it doesnt whine, try the hu. if no whine, then its gotta be the alt since you went over wiring a few times and nothing. |
