The CarPC itself is a "Net-top" unit. Which for example here's a link to one just for reference.
ViewSonic - VOT132 - 2 GB RAM - 1.6 GHz
The unit I do not have a separate ground on, only ground I could think of is the ground that runs through the power adapter. [Looks like a laptop adapter] Which I have running to a cigarette lighter power source mounted under the dash.
The RCA's I have not attempted to unplug and see. I did run a switch in-between the remote signal wire of the amps so I can turn them off when the PC is off. That was the only thing I could think of to do to get rid of the noise while the PC is off. Would that kind of be my only route to go? |
It sounds like it's just an issue with the CarPC. So since you can't change it, you can simply try some RCA noise filters. The downfall of these are that they remove low frequencies. However, since you are running subs and I assume the noise is only coming out of the front speakers, then you will be fine. Try this:

More questions...
What products are you using the fill in the stock bezel? And where can I buy smoked plexiglass?

Very good question, because this stuff is the bees knees! I use two brands:
- 3M Semi Rigid Plastic Repair
- Norton Speed Grip
For the Norton I use the 1 minute and the 5 minute depending on how much working time I need with the product. You will need a special applicator gun that isn't cheap. However, I also used this gun when I did the seam sealer in my engine bay... so it can be used for the dispensing of various types of products. Pictured here if you need the part # of the gun:
I actually bought the smoked plexi from Menards... otherwise if your local super hardware store doesn't have it, you can buy it online.
