Do you have an amp powering your internal speakers? If sohow old is your amp? I had this old Clarion amp powering my interals that interfiered with my altenator giving me that bloody whining, I tried reground and messing around with the cables but I found repacing my amp the best way to get rid of it


I had the Clarion amp powering a sub with no interfierence but as soon as it was hooked up to the internals there was whining.
