    You probably have tinnitus from having a ridiculously loud car stereo. Unfortunately, it is permanent, and cannot be cured.

    It's making "wired noiz" as opposed to what? Unwired noiz? What's noiz anyway? Is your post even in English?


    Anyway, my superior deduction abilities have led me to believe that you have a ground issue and the "humming" "noiz" you hear is due to that. You need to inspect your ground point on your amplifier and head unit. Make sure your amplifier is grounded to solid metal, not a seat frame or trunk lid or anything silly like that. Make sure your head unit is grounded some place solid also, like the firewall. Don't use the ground in the factory harness, it's almost always noisy. These grounds should be solid and if you wiggle them, the connection should not be loose.

    Also, check the wire for your radio antenna. A bad ground there can also cause noise.

    If you have checked all of these and still have noise, check the engine ground strap. If it looks ratty, replace it. It's $5 at Pep Boys in the HELP! section. Also, check your battery cables. If you have massive amounts of corrosion on the battery terminals, clean them off. There is a primer here in the Car Audio forums I wrote up years ago on a safe and effective way to do so. Search for it. If you ground cable for the battery is real ratty, replace that too. That can be anywhere from $30 to $70 at Pep Boys depending on the vehicle.

    If you still have noise problems, you either have something wrong with your audio electronics somewhere, some interference due to cheap RCA patch cables or a problem with your charging system.
