- Did you just upgrade your speakers and added an amplifier to them? Did your radio/head unit just randomly start making weird static hissing sound that’s really messing with your music? Other suggestions don’t work for you? Well check out this solution that’s different from others! I’m sure this will help most people if not all...
I couldn't help but think about Ricky on Trailer Park Boys explaining this. Thanks for the idea bro. I'll give it a try.
Thanks man, grounding the RCA from the head unit to a screw solved the problem
Rca to a ground screw? So u put the rca into the ground and the amp input?
What if you get noise and you’re using your factory radio?
To make a long story short I think he is saying use a ground wire from the head unit to the amp .
steve dental pretty much, I guess it doesn’t make a difference if you connect it to the ground on the amp or the chassis
@@_N_B_0496 can i put the ring terminal & wire at the amp end of the RCA and the either put the other end of the wire into the ground of the amp or use a screw on the amp ?
c0uchsl0uch00 hey, not entirely sure what you’re asking. Could you describe in detail what you mean?
@@_N_B_0496 instead of the RCA at the head unit end, do this same thing but at the other end where the RCA goes INTO the amp. Put the little ground wire at the amp end and then ground that little wire to a screw on the amp instead of the stereo. It would be easier to get to that than have to pull out the radio
c0uchsl0uch00 oh I see what you mean, yes that would probably be easier, but when I made the video I was working on my system anyway and had the head unit already out. Plus, all that extra little wiring wouldn’t be exposed and visible when the head unit was installed back in its place
As much as I love telling people my car is turbocharged the ringing is getting too annoying lol
Lol, I loved pretending at first too, but I could never convince myself enough to believe that my 05 grand caravan was turbocharged
It’s that super charger scream!!😂
I'm experiencing this problem after a DIY amp install. I'll try this method, will update afterwards.
I installed a simple 2 channel 200 watt boss amp to my son's ranger pickup rear 3way speakers. i grounded the RCA's to the radio and it is still made the random backfeed noise. On install i grounded the amp to a bare metal body spot with sheet metal screws. So now i am going to try your suggestion, I think it is a sound one because i know that electricity seeks the path of least resistance and adding an extra ground is always like insurance anyway. I had my son disconnect the rear amp until he comes home on semester break and I will then add the extra ground from the amp to the radio, see what happens and report back. Thanks.
Sometimes that’s also caused by using cheap quality rca cables that crosstalk and cause a whine, but what happened with my boss amp that is in this video is the whine came back a few months later and I was trying to figure out why, but couldn’t. After postponing that for a while I got a different, more powerful amp and that actually fixed the whine. Moral of the story is don’t buy cheap amps like this.
This shit actually worked. Been tryn to get rid of that shit for years.
Thanks dude, i used the wire around the RCA and the deck screw
It worked?
Need Super Fat grounds Bruh, more (ohms dissipation) for the station. 🤙
Your video saved me, thought it was the engine or sth like that.
I have done lots or car audio. Doing boat right now and it has this whine. Ill try your trick! Thanks!
Good luck!
Ugh I have this horrible ground loop right now and I don’t know what to do. It makes my subs buzz at a huge loud pitch! I am going to try upgrading the batteries ground tomorrow and I really hope it works. It’s not a whining buzz it’s like the subs are pounding.
Sounds like same issue I have. In the shop to figure out...
Did it fix it?
High to low converter makes speaker wire from radio in to low pass rca cables for amp rcas and a noise filter can help rca from radio to noise filter rca to amp
Check your rca cables. Don't run them close to the power and ground wires. I had the same issue. Took it all out. Redid my wiring layout. Just try to keep rca cables on opposite side of your car/suv.
I did what you said and still have that whine/static, I’ve tried many things and nothing seems to work, I need help
It helped me thank you and by the way I'm a paraplegic
I’m going through the same thing but the thing that sucks is that I have two amps and when I disconnected the subwoofer amp from power but kept the speaker amp connected, it doesn’t make that alternator whine sound, but once I reconnected my sub amp to power, I get that sound, but the weird thing is that the whine doesn’t come out of the subs, it comes out of the speakers even though the sub amp is what is causing it. I haven’t tried this method but I will this weekend. I think this is going to work because I only get the whine when my vehicle is on so this grounding method makes a lot of sense for a possible solution to my problem. When I have it in accessory mode, it doesn’t make a peep so it has to be the grounding of my receiver, or else I’ll be at a complete loss. If it doesn’t work for me, I still thank you for having a unique method that no one else has ever offered.
Did it work?
Well your subs can not play that frequencies because it’s to high so you will never hear it out of the subs only speakers with higher frequencies
Holy run on sentence
@@kylejacobs9716 Holy one year late.
@@spreaddeezhazelnutz7511 I guess fixing a whine in my speakers is out of style now
Hello! are this can help to repair problem of my sound degradation? I think the problem is with the head unit, but head unit is 100% good. If i have good sound, sound is bad after next engine start :/
so did he run a wire from the amp ground to the radio or the ground and amp signal wire both together then to the radio
I know it’s a bit of a long video and since then I’ve thought of ways to make it a lot shorter and straight to the point, but all I did pretty much was loop one side of a wire around the RCA preamps on the headunit and loosen a screw on the chassis of the headunit and loop the other end of that wire around it, then just tighten the screw. Back then what I was trying to explain was my thought process on how I came up with that idea so that threw off a few people lol. So those ground wires on the amp were for the high inputs on the amp and technically had little to do with the problem solution
Looks like you got a lot of lights running at same time you shoul get a capasitor for car audio to help maintain power to steroeo for hard bass hits
Personally all this video did for me was make it so I'm wasting my time taking the casing of an after-market deck off now because it's driving me nuts and I want to know where the other end of the ground inside of a factory aftermarket deck goes to because in my mind all you did was add another ground for your amp I don't see how you helped the head unit whatsoever unless the other end of the ground inside of the cave somewhere goes somewhere right to the metal there are the casing if that's the case then I guess you did probably strengthen the ground
Sorry for the late reply, but yeah, I didn’t ground the amp, I provided a better ground for the RCA preamps. If rca’s don’t have a good ground you’ll have static.
Just ground the head unit with a decent size wire on a good ground area
What is a good ground area?
I disconnected the rcas from my head unit and speakers still make noise it’s had to be my 4 channel so tried stripping wire and touching all 4 rcas and touching wire to bare metal on amp didn’t make a difference will have to try this
What amp do you have? Sometimes amps may fail and make speakers screech
I have a jet ski setup and it makes buzzing sounds when no music is playing but when it plays the buzzing sound kinda goes away. But if you pause the song then you’ll get buzzing again. I’ve tried 2 different rca’s but I just bought two more brands and I’ll give that a shot. Can’t really move them since it’s a jet ski and space is very limited but any suggestions you could give that’ll be great!
I feel like a jet ski is a different type of setup, I’m not familiar with marine audio equipment. I’d assume if changing RCA’s doesn’t help, maybe see if all your grounds are good. If you have the amp grounded to the chassis, see if grounding to the battery changes that. Also, sometimes a bad am or head unit can cause that, but doesn’t sound likely from what you’ve described.
@@_N_B_0496 when I unplug the RCA’s the buzzing stops. If I turn down the gain on the amp the hum/buzzing sound lowers in volume if that makes sense
What if I don’t have rca that connect speaker wire around have the full cable
@@juliomoreno5370 what do you mean?
I put this exact amp in a buddies car and it is loud with engine noise. Must be a brand issues with Boss these are very cheap.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure. I’ve heard other people have problems with them as well.
Years later I’m having this same issue after installing a taramps, alternator noises, and this ZZZZZZZZZZ at volume zero.
That makes the most sense.
The night i put my sub in me and my friend went out and when my car would he around 2000 rpm while accelerating you would hear a sound similar to if you had an aftermarket exhaust or cut off the exhaust and i had tricked her for a few minutes till it got annoying and i told her the amp wasn’t grounded good enough 😂😂
I dont have a amp hooked up and it hums from the alternator. What do I do?
If you mean you don’t have your RCA’s hooked up, but your power and ground are hooked up them you most likely have a weak ground. Make sure your ground point is free of paint (scuff it up with an 80 grit sandpaper or with wire wheel) and make sure you bolt it tight to the chassis. I’d suggest using a bolt that bolts directly into the chassis, likely bolts that hold the seats down. Same goes for the power cable, make sure it has a clean connection to the battery or the alternator, depending on where you hook it up to. Also, it’s critical that both your power and ground wires are properly crimped and properly installed into the amp, I’ve done that many times where I’d try to hook everything up fast to test and forget to install properly and have bad contact that causes all kindles of issues.
@@_N_B_0496 so I have a 98 camry and I hooked up a boss head unit. Cd/radio/bluetooth. The only ground wires I have (green wires) are the 1 wire coming from each of the plug clip attachments from the back of the radio that I then each connect to a ground coming from the car. So two total ground wires each attached. Is that enough ground? Should I also use another ground wire say attached from the case of the radio to a metal point in the console opening? As far as my amp goes I dont think anything is coming from it other than the wires I join together from the back of the head unit wires. There isnt any rca jacks
@@Dibran9mm hey, I know it’s a hella late reply, but I’d think it’s that Boss HU, unfortunately. Since I made that video, I’ve realized that the Boss amp was pretty trash and a few months after that video it made the noise come back and at that point no grounds would fix that. Replaced the amp and everything was cool. But I might be wrong. And if you’ve fixed the problem, please lmk how and what the problem was so I can pass the word to others. Thanks!

Hello?
noob here..am really fedup of this noise since i changed my stereo and used a jbl a6004 amp..what exactly should i do? in layman terms...will replacing the rca cable to a better quality one do the trick? coz i m not able to understand how to ground my amp :(
Since I’ve posted this vid I found that there may be more causes to this. The easiest to do is to make sure all your grounds have a clean contact to the metal. Then you can go the quality rca route and make sure you don’t run them close to other cables to avoid crosstalk as much as possible. If that doesn’t fix it then it’s probably the head unit. Cheap head units tend to do that. Sometimes even more expensive headunits can have internal component failure which causes whining.

Hi what could cause whine to come out of the rear speaker when I press the gas. Also 1 channel on my 4 channel doesn't work . Bad ground or bad amp. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks! Helped so much
Wow why in the absolute fucking hell would you go through the trouble of using high level inputs and ripping apart your wiring harness when you have the literal one thing that prevents you from having to use them: AN AFTERMARKET HEADUNIT! Low level input will always be cleaner and simpler than tapping into an already amplified signal!!
I've bought a vehicle from someone who ended up doing this. I wanted to shoot myself in the face. The wiring harness had all sorts of bad spots after he was done.
Alot of people want to retain stock look a climate control features with oem headunit. It's not that difficult. Cut your harness and wire high level to a line output converter like an lci7 where you can amplify the input signal to match the amp rca input voltage. Just label everything if you plan on putting back together to resell.
hello I tried to do it only for one rca will it work or should I wrap all?
Hey, I’d do it on all rca’s that are plugged in, that’ll probably be your best bet

Humming problem in my pioneer subwoofer. ,my setup is crown amplifier xti 4002 , pioneer 709bt, XLR to rca cable , Rockford fosgate to play punch components but hummm sound in my subwoofer plz solve my problem.
Bro you’re running so many brands that I can’t keep track lol. Idk if that has anything to do with it, might be compatibility issues, but not too likely. I’d say check your ground for the sub amp (ground wire noce and short, securely connected to the amp, bolted down to the chassis of your car to bare metal and absolutely no exceptions), check your rca cable connections (and also make sure the rca cables you’re running are good quality and not some cheap stuff from Walmart, otherwise you could have crosstalk) , and I’m not entirely sure on what xlr is and why you have it, but I’d suspect something could potentially be wrong at the xlr cable to rca cable connection. The less adapters you’re running in between 2 components, the less problems you’ll have. Try some of these things, or at least double check everything I said because sometimes you think you have everything done properly, but overlook one small thing and it’ll mess up your sound. And definitely let me know if any of these things solved it for you.

Ok, so what headunit do you have? Which methods have you tried already? Send me some pics of how you have it wired, and maybe some kind of wiring diagram that you’ve been following maybe? Here’s my email nikitos260496@gmail.com
I have same issues did u figure it out?
Man I have this very same problem. My amps is in the booth. There is no point in running a wire from my head unit too the ground of the amp. The ground of the amp is going to a screw in the chasis. So I think is more than enough to run a wire from the metal case of the HU to another screw on the chasis in the front. Whre? I don't know yet. I have a mercedes and there is ton of other matterials till the metal. I shall see. About your setup, man you took it all wrong. Using RCA's is more efficient. I have 3 pairs. One for the sub, one for the front speakers and one for the back speakers. I don't use anymore the amp from my head unit so as you can imagine is quite cold. The main reason is the quality. Instead of using signal from your preamp, you are using your player amp to rise it (add some artefacts) then you take it down again with the high-level inputs of your amp and then again rise it with the BOSS amp and add more artects this time from it's own circuits. The results is desaster. I always disagree with this solutions. I will rather have no amp, the quality is very very bad, you loose the briliance and the result is muddy. So fucking muddy is hateful.
my truck sounds like its pushing 1500 horse power with a 20 foot blower under the hood.
Hey man ! Thanks a lot for this helpful video. I will try out your recommended fix. However, for this audio whining problem with engine speed, I tried replacing my RCA cables and it worked fine for a while. I never started my car engine after that. After a few days, when I restarted my car engine. There was a static crack sound in my speakers followed by whining when hitting the gas. What could be the problem? It’s weird cause I replaced 2 RCAs already but whenever I start my car engine after some time, the problem returns
Im not an expert but simply replacing the RCA's wouldnt solve that issue. They still arent grounded properly its a problem with how the car is built/ how the head unit is built. If people didnt use such cheap bullshit in their products we probably wouldnt have these issues.
Make sure the ground is grounded correct but before that fully sand the area where the ground will be grounded make sure terminals and connectors are fully crimped not half ass and loose make sure all components match the rest of the equipment installed don't buy knock off products especially shit from china
Careful made my radio start to smoke. Turned off ignition as quick as I could.
the ground wire carries no power . its not that burning .
That is the alternator creating interference
Bc its boss

@@hunterstevens8036 hey man, sorry it’s so late, didn’t see your reply. Did you ever figure out your problem?
I got away with buck converter. I start the car, connect buck converter to battery and set it to 12v-ish to power the stereo.
I use relay with the coil connected to ignition cable from the car and to chasis. The battery goes to buck input then to relay. NO pin on relay connect to both the stereo battery and ignition. This stop engine whine, but still got small noise. To make it dead silent, I use 4700uf parallel with 100n capacitor on buck output connection.
What I suspect here is that the noise injected from ignition wire to the stereo. Try to connect ignition wire to the stereo through buck converter set to 12v, you do need relay in this case. Buck converter deliver constant voltage and there is also output filter on it, adding capacitor on the output act as another filter stages. If you connect battery through buck converter you need bigger module, which is more expensive. If its just ignition you could made it with micro buck converter under a buck.

I'm trying to take these sound away from my Chevrolet using factory radio I installed two amplifiers it's not going away how can I fix this problem
Are you running a line output converter? That might cause a problem if it’s kinda cheap. Same thing goes for the RCA cables if you have them (get good quality ones so they don’t cause cross-talk, which can also cause weird noises). Make sure your grounds are properly and securely connected (best ground is if you crimp copper cable lugs on the grounds) and bolt them to the chassis and make sure you remove any paint and oily residues from the ground surface (it’s a must!) and also have a proper connection on your power cables. If you’re running your signal wires from the speakers (instead of using RCA’s and a line output converter), make sure they’re connected to the right wires (negative to negative and positive to positive) and try to solder them or use good connectors instead of just twisting them together. Let me know if you’ve tried all this and it solved your problem, or if not, still let me know and I’ll try to narrow it down more and see if we can get rid of it. Good luck!

Hi , I have kinda the same problem, I have an 8 " amplified subwoofer (active) installed in a GMC TERRAIN 2019, when I start the engine, when I push the gas and when the rpms go up or down , it sounds a buzz out of the subwoofer they are connected thru RCA , would it work for me? , Ive taken the truck thru various technicians but they all say that it's well grounded ...
What happens if you unplug your RCA’s? What rca’s are you running?
outside of a simple grounding issue, if you have rca's & power cables running to the amp try to make sure theyre not running right alongside each other because it can cause hissing and issues, depending on how much power and quality of cables. it could also be a struggling alternator adding to hissing as that is what provides the power when the cars running. that could be why when you hit the gas it can change the hissing/sound, more rpm means the alternators doing more, more power is moving around to fuel injectors, etc. which could worsen hissing. maybe check to see if the hissing is there when the engine isnt running which should mean power is direct from the battery to start troubleshooting. i had to setup a second battery in my car back in the day (a deep cycle marine battery meant for a trolling motor) to help level things out because my stereo was drawing too much power and causing all sorts of problems like my lights would all dim, nearly shutting off and i killed an alternator or two from pushing them past their specs and all sorts of hissing. i also ran all power cables down one side of the car and all rca/speaker wires down the other with basically no crossing of wires (a massive pain in the ass involving removing seats/carpet/panels) and bought a nicer aftermarket alternator to handle the extra power draw on it. no hissing at all regardless of how much power was being used afterwards. it also helps to have high quality equipment. not sure what you have but that can def be a factor. generally speaking cheaper stuff just isnt going to perform as well because its made with cheaper parts and built with profit in mind more than performance. my kicker zr amps and eclipse aluminum subs were good stuff back then, higher end way back in the 90s... cause im old, but same principal still applies. higher end brands will use higher end parts that just perform better. most people dont need 140db of bass though so can probably find a better balance of $$ for performance than what i had.
I have the same amp.. I’m getting where it won’t cut on the subs and sometimes it does just depends if it wants to . Checked all the wires … doesn’t go into protective mode at all , power lights stays on sometimes when I move the amp around wildly it will turn on but not everytime

Its the flux capacitor silly.
But my stereo has no metal box fml. ☹️grounding the rca made it worst
Well, you can just run a longer (2 foot) wire around rca's and find a good grounding spot inside the dash. Usually when you take the radio out you’ll see a metal frame that supports the whole dash and that all kinds of modules mount to. That frame mounts to the chassis, so there’s good ground there and you can unscrew any bolt or screw that you find there and attach that wire to it
