new sound system - problem
 

Ok my brother n law just got me an older cd player im embarrased of it but it works for now plus i have his kicker in the trunk, i still gota get good speakers and a new amp hopefully a new cd player but what drives me crazy the most is that it whistles when i accelerate or shift gears that kind of thing I know theres something you get to stop that but i forgot does anyone else kno?

Sounds like a bad ground to me. Check your grounds and see if that fixes anything.

P.S. I don't know much about stereos though, so you might want to wait for another reply ;)

maybe..

where is whistling coming from, subs or cabin speakers..


are you running the signal wires on the same side as the power wires??

hmmm that sounds just like my brother's pioneer before going out.

Its engine noise from a bad ground... you can re ground it, or buy noise isolators and hook your RCAs into them before running them to the amp...
