    Noise coming in on Mach460/aftermarket HU

    I'd also have to replace all the speakers, or figure out a way to build a crossover network for each corner pair. I'll swing it by a stereo shop this week. If they can't figure it out, I'll tear out the harnesses this weekend and do a wire by wire trace.

    Noise coming in on Mach460/aftermarket HU

    I'll have to find the harness, but its the crutchfield specified one for the mach460 in 94-04. Battery ground is pretty good, its mounted to the upper end of the trunk on a large attachment bolt, and I sanded the body down to metal where it attaches.

    Noise coming in on Mach460/aftermarket HU

    Tested grounding the rca outer terminals, noise worsened and also picked up a faint alternator whine type sound. The overal noise (static) floor lifted up a bit. Releasing the ground returned it to as before. Running a new good ground for the headunit made no difference. Only other...

    Noise coming in on Mach460/aftermarket HU

    I believe so. Basically my connections look like this: MAch harness 1 (power and related) -> adapter harness from crutchfield to alpine harness Mach harness 2 (small audio data) - > adapter to 4 RCA inputs -> FL FR RR RL alpine RCA outs. then the mach loop harness is correctly...

    Brembo owners, quick pad q'

    I've had some squeeling issues, I've been on the phone with Brembo and also had the vehicle inspected today, but long story short: Car exhibits loud squeel 5-0mph light to light-medium pedal effort. Can remove noise by letting up on pedal and increasing stopping distance considerably (not...

    Noise coming in on Mach460/aftermarket HU

    I did disconnect the rca's, and while the mach amps were still on, the noise was still present. With the RCA's disconnected, would a ground loop still show that noise?

    Mach 460...Are these the correct speakers in my door?

    I hate to say it, but the problems he's describing are from aftermarket speakers being on factory 460 amps. The mach460 system uses odd impedances for the speakers, and by placing standard impedance aftermarket speakers in, you're both defeating the crossover network (IE, those additional...

    Noise coming in on Mach460/aftermarket HU

    I've never had this problem before, and I'll start by saying these magical words: I just redid the harness (so I could solder all connections and use shrink wrap, before it was really ghetto). I have a mach 460 with a Alpine 9813 headunit. The mach is being driven off the headunit's 4V...

    Emissions experts, in here:

    Setup's in my sig: but basically: E303 cam/non smog heads (gt40p), no egr, no provision for EGR in headers (longtubes) and no cats/smog pump: I obviously failed, however I was not dinged for anything on the visual check (I knew I would fail, but I wanted to see how much a problem the...

    autcross and roadrace guys....

    tires should be the last thing on the list unless your current tires are bald/not tech passing. Road race tires will hide bad driving habits.

    will 1.6 SVO RR fit under 94/95 valve covers

    I wish I had a picture for you, but they will fit. The part that doesn't fit, are the front and back leading edges of the end rockers. You have to grind off some of the material, search a bit and you'll find a thread detailed with pictures on what to do. Took me 10 minutes to modify the 4...

    393 oil consumption problem

    its not valveseals or anything like that right? Compression and leakdown tests might be in order.

    Coil-over noises

    could also be balljoints or dry bushings (if you have any delrin or poly up front)

    Rear coil overs

    they typically require grooving of the shock body. I think only with Bilstein and Koni shocks, but I'm not sure. Check the site out.

    window scratches

    my glass is scratched both inside and out. On the inside, looks like its just the tint, but on the outside, its all over the glass, though I believe it from being near the beach for 3 years. How rough is it to replace the door glass once I repair the issues with my regulator scratching it? (...

    Dyno Numbers in on a Gt40p setup...

    my combo isn't as nice (FRPP cobra/gt40 intake versus the TFS), but I have longtubes, no cats, e303 and a T5, and I put out 273rwhp without a tune and some seriously bad valvefloat. I've since had the heads ported, stronger springs and roller rockers, and most importantly a tune, but I hadn't...
