my speakers are buzzing / poss remote fault
« on: 26 March 2009, 19:29 »
just a simple query from an amateur

i have put an amp and speakers but the remote lead from my deck wouldnt work, so i played with it till i found the only remote for the amp i could - which was a wire coming from the ignition to the deck, now when i put my headlights on the speakers make a "thud" type noise and also buzz while driving.

please help

i will give half a packed of cheese and onion crisps and the cookie my kid left over from his school lunch.

you need to find the remote output on your headunit really, if you keep it as it is you could i asume damage either the ignition,headlight relay/loom or your speakers/sub etc.

what headunit you got dude

new headunit :undecided:

sounds like a bodge which hasnt worked well and you found out the hard way.

i had a problem at one point where 6x9s sort of buzzed/whined with the revs, so as i revved the engine, the noise got louder and higher. you can see what i mean. went away though.

That kind of buzz with revs is down to a bad earth.
