advice on what to do with annoying alternator noise

[retroshark]

well thanks for the advice... although i dont think the pioneer stuff is junk, it sounds good and considering i speant about a 1/4 of msrp on everything, it was worth it to me. anyway, yes, the rca's arent wonderful, and i honestly couldnt tell you the brand, although one set, the rca cable for the subs was bought at circuit city, so its a little better than what i used for the components. anyway, since you obvioulsy have high standards, what rca cables would you suggest? ill try moving them to the other side, shouldnt take more than ten minutes, then see if that helps.

if there is speaker wire running along side power wires, will i have the same issues with interference, or is it only the case with the rca's?

use stinger rca. pioneer stuff is junk thats why you got it for 1/4 of the msrp. Badapple has been in the car audio field for some time now. he has played with the best and he has also played with some shitty stuff so he knows what he is talking about when he says something is junk. not tryn to hate on your stuff but do some research before you buy stuff and best buy and circuit city are not good places to start

my car is not a show/audio display car, its for me to enjoy, and i very much enjoy my sound system that i think sounds perfect. thanks for the comment but i did research and for what i paid, i got more than what i expected. i am very happy with my system, i dont blare music, i dont bump heavy rap songs with my windows open, i listen to punk, classical music, a lot of older hip hop and a lot of blues, classic rock, doowop and 50's and 60's r&b. it does all that i want it to do, it sounds great and is 1000x better than what the car came with. and i didnt buy my stuff at circuit city, i bought everything individually, i bought the top of the line stuff (below their competition stuff that was way overpriced) and the only thing i paid retail for was a stupid rca cable that is truly a piece of crap.

i trust that badapple has a lot of experience, but he does not however, have my ears, and my ears are extremely pleased with my simple, budget sound sytem that was well worth the money invested. if i wanted a high pwerformance super amazing sound system, id get a car that didnt clunk when i hit a bump, didnt have a loud turbo and blowoff valve and didnt have an open exhaust. and i know my audio, i have been recording and producing my own, and others music for a few years, and have taken many instruments and have worked with a lot of audio equipment. my system sounds great and i really dont need any more oppinions that involve scrapping any components other than wires, which are most liekly to blame here. i wouldnt tell you to take off what you have on your car, because its your car, so please stop telling me that this is crap and that is crap. thanks but no thanks, ill buy what i think sounds good and you do the same, i just came here for some help and instead got my choice of sound audio components criticized.
