amp grounding

twisted2corpse · 05-16-2008, 11:53 PM

Quick question, my car still make a high pitch wine, I was wondering if it is because some things aren't grounded properly?

I now have the AMP/CAP, power wire from battery to cap then to amp and ground wire from amp to cap and then to car metal point.

The grounds (2) are separate wires but on the same bolt
The powers (2) are separate wires but on the same bolt

as long as the grounds for the amp and cap aren't on the same bolt/screw you're good to go ..otherwise change it

The power is no problem,since they have to be serial in order for the cap to put power on the amp when needed , in this case you will have to drill another hole to have separate grounds =S ...

Thanks, could this be why the car is making high pitch wine noise when accelerate?

And does how i have the currently wire hurt anything?

you'll be fine having your ground going from cap-amp-ground.....

What guage wires are you running for your ground and Power?

The wines coming out of your sub? only when you accelerate?

all power and ground 4 awg, the wines is only when you accelerate. When wired car aftermarket radio I used the same switched wire to wire the direct wire for my radar, if that could have anything to do with it. What you think? Thanks
