hid's causing whine in stereo???
i was listening to my stereo last night and i turned on my headlights and it started whining, just loud enough to annoy the $hit out of me. i turned the car off and back on and still whining, after i took off the whining seemed to go away, but i've noticed the alternator whines after it's been running and then sits and always has. its a napa alty and its pretty normal for that, but i've never heard the hids cause this b4. check grounds maybe, or is there some common issue that causes this> thanks

i have 2 filters on the amp allready, the alty is only a little over a year old and the head unit is only a few months old. you mean a filter for the head unit? i think the napa alty is a piece of junk and its 125 amp as well.

Put a filter on the power before it reaches the HU. But you might be better off getting another alternator. I would get reman or used. I've learned aftermarket parts for out cars suck. I had a TYC alt that whined like crazy. Through speaker and through itself. Sounded like I had a supercharger. Lol.

i have a lifetime warranty alternator from napa. the alty is'nt that old, maybe 16 months. a filter from the power sounds right to me. this is the second alternator in 2 years, the first got soaked in oil from my timing cover leak. so, i put some roofing tin in there to cover the alty. works pretty good.
