Car Audio question

Does anyone know any car audio places. Cowokers having some trouble with wiring (I think) in his system. You know the usual buzzing and whizzing sounds on acceleration, and popping of the subs when things are powering on and off..

I'm sure his amp is picking up noise from somewhere and the wire job was probably pretty poor. He may be looking into a rewire.. So yeah, lemme know..

Mucho grassy asssss

Sounds like an RFI issue.


If the other speaker wires are running too close to there power wires, it can cause a radio frequency inference issue which sounds like the problem


So roughly run power on one side of the car and signal on the other.

probably RCA cable running too close to power source.
either needs good grounding or needs better shielded cables.

yup, sounds like interference. shielded cables, separated running wiring should get rid of the interference.

yeah i figured as much, I had that in my truck before, and friggin annoyed the hell outta me. Ended up having to get monster cables instead of cheapy radioshack stuff. and ran the wires all over again..

I will let my coworker know, about this. IF he happens to be too lazy to do it, is there any other shops that are not snakes in the grass good places to get this doen at?

I already told him about Division R, just want to give him some other options..

Thanks guys
