i have a buzz noice sometimes when i listen to my music. i heard that if you set the rca's and speaker wire next to each other it does that? should i run the 3 sets of rcas from one side of my car to the amp in the back and the speaker wire on the other side? thanks all

 

try a ground loop isolator.

hope this helps. 94

yeah, It was easier for me to run the rca's down the drivers side instead of the center of the car, but same point.

 

ok..thanks guys....ill seperate the wires. but its okay for power and speaker wire to be next to one another?

 

power and speaker wire? explain please. The power wire goes to the amp, and the speaker wire runs to the subs or speakers. How would you get them crossed next to each other? But either way, i always thought you try to seclude the power wire... but i not sure

 

power wire...coming from the battery goes through the right side of my car under the panels. i recently purchased a new headunit and an amp to power my speakers. so we split the speaker wires from the headunit harness and carried them on the right side on my car also to the amp in the back. and the rca's also. so to avoid the buzz, i keep the rca's seperated so move it on the left side and bring it all the way back to my amp?

 

it may be as simple as the type of wires you are running...what brand are you using?

 

****, idunno. 2 of the rca's came from a mom and pop shop and the other from an amp kit. what rca's should i buy?

Definately. Run the RCA's right under the console.

 

it will pick up noise from the fuel pump there, do like me and run it up on the rear veiw mirror and ono the ceiling then hang right onto your amp

but you have to use the cool blue ones

lol yeah it happened to me once id turn on the ignition and hear the pump firing up

but it wasn't the cool blue ones it was the cool yellow ones

sound barrier yellow rcas suck ***

 

just hooked up my new amp and sub....god dam the buzz gets loud when i accelerate my car...i just humms when the car is on and stops when i remove the faceplate. my best bet is to just throw the rca's down the car on the opposite side of the power wire?...its annoying

 

your picking up engine noise through your rca's... Did you run the RCA's the same side as the power wire?

 

yes i did

 

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by ilikemyaccord &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">yes i did</TD></TR></TABLE> Do not run the RCAs with the power lead
also do not run RCAs an left side of car, that is the "power" side of car, most if not all wireing for brake,tail, sig, and backup lights run down the left side. 94

 

throw it down the middle of my car?..its a bitch to get under the carpet. should i just put the power wire down the left side of my car even though the battery is on the passenger side?...do all the electrical wires and power wire down the left side and rca's and speaker wires down the right side?..(passenger)

wire down right. 94

 

yes sir

 

jesus ladies, heres the deal. Yes wires do make a difference. radio **** shack wires do not cut it. you dont have to spend alot of loot but for gods sake, dont be cheap. in almost all hondas the battery and a nice big fat empty gromet is on the passenger side, newer rides are a little tighter and funkier. running rcas down the "power" side does not make a difference unless you use said **** shack wires. running rcas and power wire together is not the best idea, but then again crappy equipment, wires and install can create noise. if youre gonna put equipment in, learn to troubleshoot.

 

i got rid of my engine noise by grounding the battery to the chassis with 2awg wire

can anyone explain this!? it happened by accident, i thought my hu was shot as i couldnt get rid oof it, i had a 2awg equipment ground wire and just decided to try it on the battery to chasis

i was driving and realised all engine noise was gone, wow!
