I know I saw something about how to cure this problem but I can't seem to find
it.
How do I get rid of engine noise in my speakers? It's not the winding noise,
it's more of a ticking that accelerates as the engine revs.
Wade,
The noise that you hear is a product of your ignition system.
Some companies make spark plugs with an internal resistor, I believe,
that cuts down on the noise. You can also buy an inline noise filter
that you splice into each of your spark plug leads. Another option
is to buy an inline noise filter that runs between your speakers and
the head unit. These last two items can be found at radio shack, but
I never tried 'em. When I bought new plugs for my truck, the
Champions were built with the resistors, and they did their job.
Good luck!
