 Subject: Alternator whine
IP: Logged
Message:
I replaced my stock radio with a new Pioneer head and an XM receiver. I now have a very annoying whine that is tied to the engine\alternator speed.
I am assuming it is coming from the amplifier in the passenger door as I can turn the volume on the head Down all the way and still hear it clearly.
I did put filters on the 2 hot leads to the head and it made little difference. Before I start taking the door apart, is there anything else I should try and if I take the door panels off, what’s the best way to get rid of this noise?
Thanks

I missed the post below regarding the same problem. Does it make sense to just bypass the amp and go to the speakers direct? I would prefer not to do that. I have checked grounds with a meter and all appear ok(have not checked amp but had not ever touched it)

Just make sure it is grounded to bare metal...I grounded my amp to the seat bolt by scraping all of the paint off of the bolt and using a star washer to have good connection on both the washer side and bolt side.

You may want to re-think that, as the remote lead from the pioneer cd player is a positive lead and grounding it will make it impossible to use your radio

Thanks for the feedback. I solved the problem by selling the truck and getting a 2003 CC 4.7.
