Alternator whine DEFEATED!!!!

After days and of troubleshooting I finally defeated the alternator whine.

the Culprit was the heads touching each other. ya.. Never had this problem before but i guess every car is different.

I was almost at the point of just saying fuck it and putting it all back to stock and throw a sub, but I decided to give it one more go today. And after few hours of troubleshooting I found out the problem never stayed consistent.

Long story short. My solder on RCA female connectors which are made of metal were touching each other after I bundle them up.

Solution? electrical tape the RCA's individually so they don't conduct. Now my alternator noise is gone and I can continue with installing rest of my system.

if you have alternator whine try it. it may just work for you like it did for me.
