There are 2 amplifiers in the Frunk!
Could be an earthing issue??

It could yes generally the whine is caused by the alternator perhaps try shortening the earth wire from the amp or try earthing to a different location. Or if it is in the frunk earth directly to the battery.

Hi All,
Thanks for the replys...
Traced the earth back to the battery and the terminals were all corroded.
The earth lead was 3 times as longs as it needed to be.
Made a new short earth cable with new ends and touch wood it all seams to be working fine!
