Stereo Issues On Solo Buggy

John Galbreath Jr. · Sep 26, 2013

I am having bad engine noise. It is the same stereo that was in the Single Seater without issue. I figured the NS-12 noise suppressor had gone bad so I ordered another. The test in this video is with both noise suppressors in line ( made no difference) and the hot wire is jumped straight to the battery.

Can't gas video on Tapatalk. Hold on while I go to a computer.

A lot of times noise issues are in the ground side.

Only saw three things ever cause engine noise: ground strap, plug wires, and once a speaker in a brand new equinox did it for some odd reason :dunno:

Spend any amount of time in an equinox and you'll be screaming to get out too...

You got a ground strap that goes to the frame, or just to the engine?

X eleventy seven. Check your grounds. Might have a pinched wire also. I dont know exactly what setup your running. But the issues I used to run into were grounds and bad RCA cables. I cant tell you how many cheapass install kits came with bad rca's right outta the box

Thanks guys. Found that if I took the wires off the alternator, it stopped. Ordering a new one and will install and report back.

Mine was doing something similar with a popping noise when the engine was running . I had RCA cables run outside the firewall close the distributer. I moved all the wires away from the distributer and it stopped. Don't know if that will help but it fixed mine.

Thanks. I will look into that, wires are an inch away from the distributor, but on the other side of the firewall.
