I was triing to clean up my center console the other day and moved my booster from inside the console to the outside, passenger side. once I did that I have a very loud and obnoxious buss in my raido. If I plug in and play my I Pod directly into the booster, no noise (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . I have grounded the raido, booster, even went as far as grounding the sheilds of the RCA cables (and tried different cables) into the booster. That seemed to quiet it up a slight bit but still buzzes when the FM, CD is on.
I then went to raido Shack and picked up a noise supressor (inline capacitor) Still didn't help. I am begining to think Ignition or Alternator? Every thing was fine till I moved the booster from inside to the outside. This happened once before but not as severe, I just moved a few wires around and it went away. Any ideas?? Here is the link I found good for the DIY guy who knows enough to be dangerous. http://www.bcae1.com/ |

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the replies. Yes the frequency of the Buzzing does go up and down with the RPMs, also comes in louder when my electric fans kick in. The Capacitor (noise supressor) does have a ground, it was a cheap-o for $8 bucks, are there better ones? Also, when I say Booster I do mean Amp, yea, I'm old school. I will be home tomorrow night and give it one more once over I'll ground the grounds, and bring a new supply voltage line to the radio. |
