I just bought the Clarion sss601 component set. Installed it and i have an extremely annoying noise comming out of the speakers, like a static noise kind of. Its comming out of every speaker but I couldnt tell until I got close to them, but its really noticable out of the tweeters and almost not getting drowned out by the music, almost.

Its not engine wine, because it makes the noise with the car off and dosnt get louder when the cars on.

It also continues to make the noise when I unplug the rcas.

Im also runing a pair of MTX 6x9's and the noise is them too, you just need to get close to hear it, its not as noticable but its there.

I'm completely lost on what to do. I have changed grounds, tried unplugging each speaker seperatly and trying all terminals and both amps and the noise dosnt go away.

The amps are Ultimate TA2600II's, one for the front components and one for the rear 6x9's.

I have a run of 0 gauge front to back and 3 batteries in the rear. I have tried grounding on diffrent places on the chassis and also even tried grounding straight to the batteries with no luck, as well as changing the ground and power wires themselves.

I had it at a shop and they seem to think the amps are done, but I am totally lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And any more info needed just say so.

dont think so...there at half, mabey a bit lower...should i try turning them right down and see if its gone?

Mat-Romain

just did that...it changed absolutly nothing. thnx for the help tho. ANY OTHER IDEAS?!?....im getting very frustrated with this vehicle.

edit: i just went out again and tried playing with the high pass, low pass, bass bost switches, plus tried all the frequencys in the high and low pass(with no music, just so i didnt wreak my speakers)...and nothing changed

oh and to elaborate on the noise, its the same noise your tv makes when you put a channel on that you arnt using, wen the screens black and white squares and it makes that super annoying noise. best way i could describe it..lol

well, my speaker wire is ran the oposite side of the car, and on the side where it has to cross the power wire its probably a good 1.5-2 feet away at the closest point.

It makes the noise even with no rcas hooked up. and just to answer the ground question, i got fed up with it yesterday and thought my 14 gauge to chassis may not be sufficiant so i upped it to some extra sub wire i had kicking round, so my ground for my deck is 8 gauge now, so i highly doubt thats it.

And the decks got 10 gauge from the battery for power. and i have tried 3 diffrent clarion decks, just to see if that was the issue. but like i said, it does it with or without rcas hooked up.

still drawing a blank, i just wanna go out there and try soemthing, but i cant think of anything...lol...mabey its because its a stupid ford, i have no idea

Mat-Romain

well its a pair of ta2600II's that are doing it in the same car. but yea, ill try changing an amp and see if it goes away, thnx ill let ya know in 10 mins or so

Mat-Romain

the other amp that i have wont turn on, so i cant test that, im gonna have to borrow one off someone or grab one off a board in oshawa to try or soemthing.

i moved the ground for one amp right next to my battery grounds and it is still loud....im still lost tho. i geuss i wont know until i get another amp to try.

but i still cant understand how both are doing it and there grounded in 2 difrent spots. whats up with that?

i geuss the only way to tell is with another amp...ill get back to you all tonight to see if my electrical terror is still with me
