Stereo Install Question...
Just installed a Jensen VM9510TS in my 02 C5. I am getting some alternator noise in my speakers (the sound is a low whining noise). What can I do to get rid of this?
Thanks,
Jamey

There are filters you can put in place but a lot of people will tell you to check all your connections and especially your grounding point that you used for the radio. Hopefully you didn't use the stock ground wire from the factory radio.

noise
make sure you used crimp caps and didn't just twist the wire with some black tape. Also as stated check the ground and make sure your RCA outputs are not resting on metal or other wires. Hope this helps

Well, I just pulled stereo and grounded directly to battery. Still have amp noise & have also noticed with ignition at on position have whine and if I press gas pedal I get a small static sound.
I have all factory steroe equipment, pulled factory stereo and put in after market stereo. I have checked to make sure there are no bare wires.
What now any and all help appreciated.........
Thanks
