VERY common issue... called alternator whine

try this

1 - make sure your rca's and speaker wires are AWAY from your power wires...

2 - check your ground to see if it is securely installed and the area is sanded down

3 - if all else fails, congratulations, youre the new owner of an "audible tachometer"

ROFL.. its the newest thing.. everone wants one

just like a whistle tip [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]



but this might help you

1. run power wires up the LEFT side of the car if you are using the stock speaker wires (yes i said left.. simply cause the stock speaker wires run up the right)

2. run RCA's through the center console... so that you can avoid runing them through the dash at all (the only wire it will ever come close to is the fuel sensor... i think.. maybe the brake lights ect. run through the same loom.. i cant remember)

3. if rewiring all speaker wires, run them up the left side of the car (and then obviously power up the right)

also see if you ran your RCA's by the fuse box under the steering wheel. move the wires near there and see if that helps (it did for me). and also move the wires behind the HU and maybe you'll get lucky (also has worked for me)
