I re-grounded the hu and it got rid of the popping and most of the ground noise. But I'm still getting engine noise and alt noise. I put a ground loop isolator on it as a last ditch effort to keep it cheap. It got rid of all of the noise including the bass. I can hear a little treble out of the sub, but no bass what so ever. Anybody have any ideas. Bad ground loop isolator or are they just junk to begin with? |

Its a third car and really didn't want to gut the thing, to get to the bottom of the noise. Was just hoping a ground loop isolator would help. |
