Fg Audio Upgrade Issues

[underoath123]

Pretty sure my system has been set up properly, had the guy do many systems for me, got standard fg headunit PDX 5 M100 mono 2 12inch type r slim subs type r speakers all round and custom mounted tweaters.would add more but not enough room in the ute:/. owell still get quite a nice back massage from the slims hehe:).

Parkway kicks would sound pretty savage through those, good stuff.

Same way I fixed the problem, Caliban works well too..

The only thing that could keep up with parkway would be an 8 or a verrryyyy well built sealed 10... But it sounds so good when set up correctly! Ground loops can also be a common cause, if it's not sourcing Fromm the icc itself. Try to ground everything at one point to minimize risk of ground loops. But unless you have some crazy standard head unit or a good aftermarket one there will always be a level of noise.

I was told the alpine processor would remove most of the hiss that the std head unit has. He said he tunes them for the car and installation. Said It would also improve what little range the std head unit has. And I think he wanted all of $800 squid for it set up.

So do we have a yeah or a neh on removing the std earth hiss, well that's what it sounds like

ps Audioengine speakers are the ducks guts

I'd say no you wont get rid of it. I have a BA and have isolated mine down to the ICC itself. The induced noise I get is from the actual ICC unit (noisey electronics!). I found this by redoing every earth in the car when I had no factory stereo speakers or the amp connected. I did double earthing, earthing from the alternator, I did fcking everything!!!

I did find that disconnecting the rear demister wires and FM cable from the black box in the rear passenger side hood lining does cut down the noise but I think all it actually did was change the nose frequency to a higher pitch that I may be slightly deafer at?

My last ditch attempt will be to install 2x 40 amp filters that I got for like $2 each ($30-$40 items) from the WOW sight and sound closing down sale and will remove the ICC and try to figure out where I can input them...

Its a deadset nightmare mate and all I can say is good luck!

on 0 volume the ICC mutes the audio output IC , im thinking in this case the noise is being induced further down the line ,

[sam_rigger]

well even on my stock ICC with no aftermarket gear installed, there is noise on volume level 1, so I think it's the ICC putitng out the noise, not the gear after it. I'm no expert, just stating my experience in my own car.

I think I'm gonna get a head unit installed instead. The LC-6 doesn't do what I expected it would do.

[MA91CK]

You will find with a good aftermarket head unit it will do wonders. You can't cover sh*t in sugar and expect it to be a lamington. Hahahaha

[underoath123]

how do you go about putting a aftermarket deck in a fg, considering the screen and other components I heard a rumor the screen will no longer function as required? could be completely wrong though. can anyone shed some light on this please. o and in my last car with similiar gear I had a 900 dollar aftermarket deck and still had the hiss.
