Engine Noise?

**Virion** · 04-29-2009, 07:04 AM

I finally hardwired my STi with the external speaker in the G8 yesterday. I have some pretty annoying engine noise coming through the remote speaker. I tried a noise filter, but that did nothing. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and what possible solutions anyone has?

Make sure that both the STi and the remote speaker use the same power and ground locations. What type of noise filter did you try? Can you post a photo of it?

you need to move ur ground wire... that is what normally may cause the engine noise feedback that you are receiving

I'm going to try to move the ground when I can find some time and the rain let's up. I guess I should clean out the garage for times like this

It's not as loud as I thought it was going to be. I still have trouble hearing it with the windows down and tunes blaring. It may be the location. I put it under the dash of my G8 and down towards the floor. I have it turned all the way up.
