I have an 02 civic LX and I have SERIOUSLY annoying engine noise.
I have an Alpine Headunit, Infinity 4 chan amp, Infinity speakers, and 2 Kicker comp CVR subs.
I just replaced the speaker wiring hoping it was because i used cheap wire but no, its still super loud and annoying.
If i'm listing to the music with the car off it sounds fine. When i start the car and turn the music on but keep the headunit on i hear like a loud da da da da da da then when i drive it gets louder or whatnot.
It's really annoying. I never had this problem. Why is it doing this?
let me know!

Are your RCA cables next to your power wire? They should be on different sides of the car... ------------- Soldier: This is the worst part. The calm before the battle.
Fry: And then the battle is not so bad?
Soldier: Oh, right. I forgot about the battle.

That's a fallicy. I've run all my wires together for YEARS, and I have never had it PROVEN to me that that combination can cause noise. 99+% of the time it can be narrowed to a bad battery or bad ground.
Check this thread out...
The spiz has spoken! LOL (Actually I only added that sentence so I can easily find this thread to more easily find the LINKED thread - as that one never seems to come up in any searches.) ------------- It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Well, it might be different for each application. I had my RCAs slide next to my power wire, and I got a fuzzy sound from them, but the sound did not increase with the volume. Instead, it drowned out the noise, but it was annoying at low levels. When I moved the RCAs back where they go (and ziptied them), the noise was gone. Just what happened to me.

I too have never seen a problem running RCA and power on the same side of the car. I zip-tie them together. I think the same person that said this causes a problem also said that a capacitor would stop your headlights from dimming.
