So i finally got around to my install on new car, first thing was to run wires and whatnot.. After i ran the power wire and was disconnecting the Monsoon amp i got the thought of using the stock wire harness rather than running all new wires.. Lazy yes, Efficient possibly.. So i wen about soldering on extension wires to the harness and home made rcas to connect it to Amps.. Mind you right now i am suffering from speaker whine, and the troubleshooting is beginning.

in summary, 2 questions:

Right side a bad spot for amp wire? In last car i had 2 6 gauge wires running on both sides, this time im doing a 4 gauge main wire and splitting to 4 6 gauge sub wires for the amps (got only 2 hooked up now )

Is stock wire harness good enough to push 100-220w to satellite speakers



(got tons of pics of everything if needed xD)

Home made RCA's may have something to do with it. I would also take a close look at your ground wire. It should be as short as possible.
Just running new wire would have eliminated the trouble shooting.

I had a feeling it was the ground wire, first i had it to the tail light ground, had a whine, then i made a new ground spot on the metal next to spare tire, still whining... Wondering if i double ground the amps? or are both these spots just bad




pic included of current.. tested it with only the satellite amp grounded, not sub amp, and it still whined..


*edit* Ignore the wire mess around it that was a wip picture
