Audio Systems/Jeep Grand Cherokee factory amp clicking noise

Advertisement


Question
I am installing a complete four channel audio system plus the subwoofer. Is there anything I can do to eliminate the data streams from my signal? Would noise filters be an option? I will say that I never noticed the noise coming from the factory speakers; but the aftermarket hi/lo converters seem to pick the clicking noise greatly!

Question -
I have a 05 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I am having problems with my factory audio system. I have tapped the factory amp for my aftermarket amplifier. I hear  a steady clicking noise coming from the speakers as soon as I switch the car on. I know it is definitely coming from the factory amplifier due to my extensive tests on the audio system. What can I do to eliminate the noise from my audio sytem.

Answer -
there is nothing you can do that is a signal that the amplifier is sending to the other modules inside the doors
the electric system in this car is not simple  if you look at the wires going in to the door you will notice that there is only a few maybe 4 or 5  that is the speaker,tweter,window up,down,power locks,door latch and door pin switch for inside light
how can they do all that ?
simple they use the same wires and send DATA to tell the door to do something else

that data is what you are gettin on the speakers
if you tap in to the factory woofer output this noise is not there
good luck


Answer
HI
you are in luck i believe lol
there is a new interface to keep the factory radio in new chryslers i don't know if it is for sale but i read everything about it  call 407-396-1194 they carry that product ask for mark

with out this interface there is no way to remove the data signal from the system and if you find the way to do that windows and locks will stop working
