Hi guys, I got my deck installed today along with my screen, but when I press the gas, its making a mad high pitched sound, kinda like driving a electrical car, lol.

I'm thinking it might be because I didn't ground the 2 wires probly, if thats the case, is there a nice sopt I can ground it with out cutting myself reaching for it?

Or if its somthing else?

Thanks

For shame Always ground the ground wires Find a bolt on the chasiss. Or if you have the installation manual that came with your unit follow their procedure.

Have a nice day

I did ground them, just not on the car, lol, more like on a pecice of metal.

Can both wires be grounded to the same bolt? or do they have to be far apart?

thanks

The same bolt is better and easier


**Make sure they are ground wires. If they are not they may be above ground wires Very funny right

lol, wicked, thanks, I will try to fix it tommoorrow

Cool, its done. I wired them to a spare clap and hooked that on to a metal part inside the dash, sounds great now, screen working great too. thanks

ok, right now, if I play at a low sound level, like around 3 to 5, i can still hear that high pitched sound, but not very loud, not as loud as before. But if I play it normal, like above level 7, i can't hear it anymore, i know its there, just not loud enough for me to hear.

is it suppose to be like that? or is there somthing i can do to get ride of it?

You may want to visit your local Car Audio Shop, they will hook you up with a small device called a noise filter or some other nifty gadget that may be new on the market to eliminate alternator noise. Keep me posted.

BTW- make sure the ground wires are secured properly making a good connection and not loose.

Cool, thanks. the noise isn't borthering me, just affrde if it can do some damage. I will go pick up a filrter, the ground wire is sercure, but i will check again, thanks alot

Glad to help. Enjoy

I simply used the ground from the factory deck with mine. I cut the end and spliced the wires, then soldered it together for a good connection and then taped the end.

(I soldered all my deck wires to the harness... makes for nice good connections)

Wire nuts work well also.

Cool, i guess i will try that, if i can find it again, i have no idea where the wire went after i disconnected. Thanks

I would rather solder them that is stronger the wire nuts will come off soder wont.

Wire nuts are good until you have 10 in a small space... then they suck, and they get caught on things.

Inline soldering (so the wires look strait) and wrapping means a smaller bundle, so easier to do.

After I did that I taped all my wires together too so they are pretty, won't get caught on anything, and don't take up much room.

One warning: the ground wire is a larger gauge wire than the deck wires, so if you are using a stripper instead of a blade, watch out for the thickness.

Aside: I'm enjoying my new Pioneer DEH-P4600MP. For $150 CDN it is nice. (Especially since I'm running stock speakers in the rear and decent 6.5s in the front, why spend more when I would have to put more money into the rest of it to make a difference)
