Inverter Noise

Cherub211 · 02-20-2004, 12:17 PM

I'm using a Pioneer head unit with AUX adapter, a 225watt power invertor, a 150w powersupply, VIA's EPIA-M1000 Erza board, and I'm getting major noise through the powersupply into the aux input and through the stereo. I have no problems connecting my PDA to the aux input, but that power inverter is trouble, the AUX cable anywhere near the inverter creates noise. Anyone else get this problem? Suggestions to fix it?
I did order a 90watt opus yesterday (still no reply though), so the end result isn't so important, but I'd rather not have a useless inverter.

Some things to watch out for:
-Ground your radio and inverter to the same gound.
-Make sure your power cables are of the proper gauge.
-Your inverter might be of low quality or broken.
-Try a GOOD surge protector with noise suppression built in.

Theres a bunch of other posts already on these things, just do a search to get more details...
