Connect a chunky lead to the chassis of the HU and then to the chassis of the car behind the glovebox. This will usually cure alternator whine.

How many RCA cables do you have running between the amp and HU. - HIS4 2008-08-19 15:49:00 (42 views)

So you get noise even with the RCA cables disconnected from the HU. - HIS4 2008-08-21 00:01:32 (40 views)

My vote would be the amp, buy a decent brand and you'll get no issues - MacSub 2008-08-21 10:03:28 (34 views)

JBL is not exactly crap. Their stuff is on the same level as Kenwood or Infinity. - HIS4 2008-08-21 14:58:34 (31 views)

They are a speaker manufacturer, their amps are just above non branded - MacSub 2008-08-23 02:33:11 (26 views)

I'm sure they borrow technology from other parts of their parent company. - HIS4 2008-08-23 08:33:14 (29 views)

Ummm, well I hardly think that's a recommendation of quality, look at the shyte Audi use - MacSub 2008-08-23 08:51:13 (31 views)

I've used the stuff before. It's decent stuff for the price. - HIS4 2008-08-23 11:53:14 (29 views)

Bargain basement brand, I can almost guarantee replace it with an Alpine and problem goes away - MacSub 2008-08-23 12:40:29 (26 views)

Look into the other things mentioned and maybe running the rca cable down the other side of the car. - Slave IV 2008-08-19 14:55:37 (29 views)
