Engine noise thru my changer?
I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting engine noise only when my changer is playing. Is it possible it's because I'm using a metal bracket to mount it to the chassis? Thanks
|
baaaaad ground... how new is this changer you speak of?
|
It's a 4 year old Kenwood changer (KDC-CMP59FM). I have an even older changer which I just hooked up and the noise was gone. Plugged my current one back in, noise was back.
Is it possible the galvanized bracket I'm using to mount to the car's chassis is acting as a ground that is causing the interference? EDIT: YES! It's because of the metal bracket. Has to be, since I just unbolted from the chassis, the the noise was gone. |
in a perfect world, any type of stereo equipment shoudl be isolated from the chassis, ie attached to wood then the wood attached to the car. especially with amps. they should not be screwed directly to the metal body.
|
copper or gold would be an excellent insulator for this purpose... but like paul said, ghetto rig some sort of attachment that the changer doesnt touch the chassis and see if that helps at all

Used the stock bracket, noise is gone. Even though my fronts are powered by an external amp, I now have zero engine noise. The metal bracket was temporary till I got a new bracket from Kenwood (the other one broke from me screwing it in too tight).

u might need a new coil
