In the cavalier i've installed my new amp and subs in the boot and now the passenger side speaker is making an odd whiney noise. It's there whenever the head unit is powered on and the noise increases and changes a bit whenever i rev the engine. Now i'm assuming it's an earth fault (cause it usually is from what i've read in the past ) although the earths are all fine in the boot and i never had the problem with the old amp/sub.
I'm gonna try disconnecting the amp and powercap to see if it makes any difference but other than that any suggestions? I wouldn't think it was anything other than the amp or powercap that could have caused this to start happening unless it was a large coincidence.
The only other thing i thought it could be was the new power cable is running down the passenger side of the car next to the door/speaker although even when the door is opened and the wire pulled away from it quite a bit it doesn't help so unless it's interferring somewhere else (next to the grommit and wires where the rest of the wires go in to the interior of the car?) i'm not sure what could be causing it.
Cheers
Edit: just to say i've removed the power cap and it didn't help, but when i disconnected the amp just by pulling the remote wire out the noise stopped coming from the one speaker and it was working normally.
