Alternator Whine - Aka - 12-19-2005
Posting this hear cuz it's about my Subaru, not the Focus.

Go ask on the Subbie site.
We don't care

The Toronto Subaru site has an error everytime I try to join. And you guys are generally pretty friendly, except you, you're an asshole 99.99% of the time.

Turn it up, it'll sound S/Ced? :P
The bearings could be wearing out, the pulley could be binding, etc etc.
Does it sound like it's scraping or is it just a whine?
Alternator Whine - Aka - 12-20-2005
Just a whine. Goes away when I turn the stereo off.
And seriously, when I first drove it home it sounded like yeah a supercharger or turbo or something and I kept thinking "I never saw that under the hood" but then I started playing with things and figured out what it was.

Meford = Pwn3d!
check your voltages. make sure the alternator is charging correctly, if it is, make sure your engine and stereo grounds are good...
a good site for subaru tech is

yeah that's a bad ground... try to keep your ground cable under 18" and make sure the grounding spot you choose is sanded down to remove paint and is actually a good ground heh. If all else fails you can buy a ground loop isolator.
Alternator Whine - Aka - 12-20-2005
Well the amp came loose while I was "driving" (ie: doing donuts and powerslides in a snowy industrial area) so it could have happened before I took delivery of it but after I test drove it. Which probably meant he drove the s**t out of it for a day or two before I got it.
Anyway, I'll have to figure out how I want my trunk.
