Audio gone awry - 6G Celicas Forums

Ok this has got to stop because im at my wits end. Lately my two rear tweeters buzz while my engine is on. Only the tweeters do this and only while there is a track playing (in between tracks it cuts off for a few seconds). I do not understand why its only those two and not also my front ones or why its only when the engine is running but ohh well. Hopefully I can work this out otherwise I will rip those suckers out in a heartbeat because it wrecks any music that is somewhat soft. Also the buzzing doesn't change regardless of volume go figure. >frown.gif>
do you have a inline fuse less then 18n inches from ur battery??
is so check to make sure you have good rca's that are running them (if useing an amp) and last make sure your rca's and or speaker wire is as far away from your power wire as possiable!
Are they two ways, or components? Are they hooked up to an amplifier or are they running off your head unit? Sounds like you have a bad ground or there is a ground loop.

they are components on an amp
Sounds like a ground loop. Check your ground, make sure its a good one. If you still get noise, try grounding directly to your battery, or try a ground loop isolator and see if that works.
We got rid of buzz on a few of our display amps we just installed at best buy by running a 12ga wire from the ground connection on the amp itself to the black rca. I don't exactly know what this does, but I know that the senior installer did it to fix the huge problem we had with our new Alpine V12 amp.

He got rid of a ground loop >smile.gif> the outer sheild of an rca cable is grounded and used as a reference for the signal, so he connected the two so they both shared the same ground.
