It definitely does play a role now, thought it could be a simple fix. The pico fuse is usually the #1 problem solver with the Pioneer units, more or better grounds can help as well. Check out this thread as well: Noise Troubleshooting Guide I followed that guide with Lance for my "whine" that I had previously... grounded RCas and noise gone but noticed the hiss/static later on... might actually be the pico caca

will try running a new set of RCAs first when I have some time....

lol jay.. Just did the phone method and tested with Alton... So no his or sound at all from any speakers at any volume or gain setting ... sooooo this puts RCAs and HU into the circle.... correct???

yea... I was looking at your other response... My tweeter reads 4ohms and so does my Alpine coaxial.... I'll see about the pico soldering...

alot of times I see guys on here recommend using saw dust and wood glue to fill in some gaps... not sure how big but hopefully you aren't off by more than 1/8 of an inch or so....

kinda cool if you ask me

good luck... keep the pics coming sir!!!

sucks fool..

Huntsville here too! You in high school? he is gonna ask you to prom!!! how cute... !!! anyway, welcome sir!!!

quantity: 8 ???

nice!!!

more...

OK... gotta see if I can run ground from front battery to rear battery... I think I have enough wire.

okay... good to know...

just to make sure... before disconnecting any power/ground wires, I should disconnect the RCAs first.... ???

I just recently grounded the RCAs .. Basically I did this as instructed by Lance to get rid of the whining I got after taking out my capacitor and adding a battery in the rear... Should I do more? Where else can I ground to?? the cage holding the HU in?? or a random bolt in the dash??? Both??? I somewhat think I didn't notice this hissing soo much before I installed the tweeters... Could maybe the tweeters themselves be emitting this static?

every get your issue corrected with the tweeters? or are you waiting for an amplifier???

Amplifier is 2 ohm stable (could the amplifier not be as good at 2 ohms) Wiring for speakers is tight Will look at gain setting Ground loop? more specific? I'm not sure how or what to look for in this matter???

Nope cause that is a vague question, not to many component sets are out there so I doubt anyone has tested it with an Xcon 15". Plus keep up is a loosely used term and very subjective when it comes to each person's ears and taste. If the components cant keep up then turn the sub down. I was looking for an informed guess on how well they might mix... Keeping up is not what I meant... I guess only way to know is to try something out... I need something that different up front soon....

nothing???

why yes it is... lol

easiest rule of thumb would be the DMM method....

lol.... nice .... should be a MUCH different sound....
