I have Factory Bose and a Poineer Premiere headunit with subs. My problem is that when i pause the cd or ipod i can hear static feedback. Where does the problem lay? Thank you

 

static or engine whine? often, a lot of external noise can be traced back to a bad ground.

recheck your ground points. the location should be clean and free of any paint.

 

i regrounded. still hear static when i turn up the volume. but i just relocated that to another piece of metal behind the dash. is there some more apppropriate way to ground it? i am an amateur. Thanks

 

you might need a attinuator if i spelled that right.... Basicly it goes in line with the power and ground connectors of the head unit. Should get rid of some unwanted noise. Not sure where to get them they used to sell them at Radioshack.

 

as long as the metal has a good solid connection to the chassis...you should be fine. i grounded my HU on this huge metal bar behind the dash. not sure if your gen has the same structure though.

are you hearing static through the interior speakers or sub?

 

as I said before try an attenuator I have had to install them on a few cars and never had problems with noise through the speakers afterwards.

 

its through the speakers. ill look for the attenuer. thanks a lot ya'll

 

no problem. If it keeps it up after installing the attenuator your next step should be replacing the head unit.

 

Link to an "attenuator" please.

You may want to try ground loop isolators for a bandaid fix.

 

heres the thing is the ground is an issue then ur right a ground look isolator would fix it but if its the alternator then an attenuator would fix it. At least you can still get ground look isolators from radioshack. scratch that after looking I could not find what I was looking for so I desided to get the box for what I told you about. Its called an automotive electrical noise filter. here is a link to one http://www.sportsimportsltd.com/10ampauelnof.html

I haven't used that site before so order at your own risk. sorry about the miss info before I don't know where my head was.
