Wow! amazing. I have never hear of any body
getting alternator whine. I have heard of the stuff coming through RCA
cables but not through a ground loop.
Here is my solution. Hook the CD player up
right. You can go to Best Buy, Circuit City or any local radio shop and
pick up a wiring harness. You will solder the wires coming from the CD
head unit to the wiring harness. Then the harness just plugs into the
harness in the car. This makes things 10 times easier. The wires
are marked, the solding takes about 15 mins and your system will sound 10 time
better.
How do I know this. I just installed and
Alpine DVA-5205 and a CVA-1005...both from Alpine (www.alpine1.com). I used the wiring
harness, Shielded RCAs for both the audio, video, and PS2/XBox
jacks.

Ronnie,
You have a ground loop which is causing "alternator whine." The
solution is to purchase a ground loop isolator audio cable that Radio Shack
sells. Check out the http://www.radioshack.com and look up
the following:
| Ground Loop
Isolator |
 |
| $14.99 |
Brand: RadioShack |
| Catalog #:
270-054 |
George
"Little Beast"
'89 DX-Hybrid-D16Z6, 128k miles
Seats, Suspension, Engine,
MSD
furthermore:
there is an 1/8" input on the front of the
reciever.
im plugging my cd player in through
this
the hum ONLY happens when the cd player is
being used while powered by the cigarrette lighter.
ideas?

i installed a stereo today in 88
si.
bear in mind no RCA cables
involved
a hum can be heard over spearkers when the
engine is running....the hum's pitch increases as rpm's
increase.
my friend tony said..."need a ground loop
isolator"
i went to walmart...all they had was RCA
GLI's....
what do i do????
thanks,
ronnie
