Does it happen in the house connected to a normal amp? Or just in the car?

Sounds like inverter noise possibly, I get it in my car but then again, my whole install is behind the dash - PC being moved to the boot to hopefully overcome this.

yeah i was wondering why he said that!

Kostas, You do know the audio on the Xenarc is a line in for the internal speaker don't you? - ie something not many people will ever use!

ahh yeah, silly me! I forget that you can buy those things.

must be a grounding issue with the PC.

Kostas, have a look for some info on grounding your PC and amp - this would be the 1st thing to check.

also does it change when you increase the volume on the PC?

Yep that was what I was thinking but I thought I'd ask if it was actually in the car yet.... Usually these kind of posts say 'it worked fine in the house but as soon as I put it in the car....' LOL
