Whine
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 15-Sep-02 AT 07:00 PM (EST)]When ever i am playing a cd i can hear a whine that is comming from the alternator, but if i switch to the radio the sound goes away. The only time i can here the whine with the radio in is when i have the volume turned almost all the way down or to zero. I am guessing that i need to go to Radio Shack and buy one of [link:www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CT LG%5F002%5F001%5F019%5F008&product%5Fid=27%2D055|t hese] noise filters. Next, where should i install it?

ya as John said double check your wireing redo the ground on all amps sanding all the paint away under the conection to help
if it still persists move the rca's away from the power line alteast 6" 10=12 is better

Is it a stock setup or aftermarket radio? Most of the aftermarkets I have dealt with are more sensitive to noise than the factory system is. Also, if it is aftermarket, how is it wired?
