whistling
hey everyone i have two 10 in subs run by a 460 watt amp. I also have a compacitor but thats where my problem comes in i beleive. Sometimes my system works great but more timees then not my system wont come on. When this happens theres a whistling sound coming from eiher my speakers or my compacitor. It almost sounds like a supercharger. The more gas i give the truck the louder the whistle gets. Sometimes it whistles even when my amp and my compacitor are on but my subs arent hitting. Another thing it does is the compactior makes a loud beep noise because is only pushing 8 volts when its usually 13-14. Is my compacitor bad? It cant be my amp becuase its brand new. I checked all the wires and everythings hooked up right.
please help

most likely a ground issue. That would explain the low voltage on the Cap and the Whisling. Make sure your gound is clean and if possible ground it to something that is attached directly to the frame.
