    where is the power wire for your subs running? anywhere near your head unit would cause those types of problems... also try turning down the auxiliary volume on the head unit to about 1/2 of the total.. if its trying to amplify that signal too much that could cause a small amount of noise thats always present to be amplified so its audible

    Etl, my power cable running throw my door on passenger side and it goes all way from front to the end on right pasenger side. I tryed to tunt off my subs and it didnt help at all. If i turn volume down on my aux then i have to put louser my main volume which brings noise back louder.

    the only thing i can think now is try disconnecting the power cable to your subs from the battery and run the vx and see if that makes any difference.. if it does you know thats where the noise comes from.. if not maybe try a new ground for it.... and if not id guess its an internal problem in the head unit


    garful.. any luck with new grounds on your head unit? ive had issues with dual head units in general... one just quit on me out of nowhere.. i got nothing but whining from the speakers, not even a hint of music... another stopped sending a signal to turn on amps out of the blue

    I did what you said Etl and it didnt help so then i got pissed off and i just start ripping cables off and i found out that if i unplug my radio from the ciggarete adapter noise goes away so now i need to rewire my satelite unit to something else. IM not sure how to do that. Any advice on that?
