How to remove engine interference in newly installed amplifier?

I just installed an amp to my toyota truck, and once i start the engine, there's an annoying whine coming through the speakers. Also as i accelerate the truck, it can be heard on the speakers also… Its so annoying. I got my RCAs running from the HU to the amp and then wires from the amp to the speakers. By googling online i have read that it could be a bad ground on the amplifier, but i ran a cable straight from the battery to the amp (-ve) and it still soundad really bad. I thought it could be the RCAs… So i plugged an RCA from my iphone to the amp( i obiously removed it from the HU) and it worked fine! But just with these cable form my iphone to the amp… I tried other RCA cables ( which are really long) on the HU and the engine interference was still there. So i'm thinking it could be that the RCA are really cheap? I bought the amp installation kit on ebay for $15… Please help me hear my music in my truck! Any one has any possible solution to this?

Sounds like the noise is from the head unit, check power connections on it.
look for alternative power source points, and multiple ground connections, you could have a ground loop feedback.

  • Will Audio-Technica ATH-M50's work without an amplifier? I'm looking to get the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 headphones. I would mostly be using them with my iPhone 4 and my Macbook Pro 13". I listen to all sorts of music, from folk metal, hip hop, jazz, and pop. I don't know much about these higher levels of headphones but I know this pair is very good for the price. I have read a bit about portable amplifiers, but I don't know what that really is and if it would be necessary.

  • Making amplifier for for 5 watt speaker? Okay, so i have a 5 watt speaker that i want to install in my dirt bike helmet and i want to play music with my iphone 5. There's only one problem, if i plug in the speaker straight to my iphone it won't play music loud. I need an amplifier but i can't have anything to big because this speaker and the amp has to fit into my helmet. I also i have no idea what to make the amp out of or what kind of amp i need to buy.
