Hello again all,
Well i've had my setup installed for over a year now and i cannot get rid of the dang whining sound through the speakers. I went out and purchased a bunch of audio control units to hook up, 2 EQT's, Matrix line driver, and a ESP 3 for sound quality. Got the top of the line stinger cables, and still problems. I tried to find a thread about what other people have done but nothing useful really kept showing threads non related. Any help or idea would be appreciated thanks guys.
