installed radio in EZGO and now lots of static
Hey, can anyone help shed some light on my issue here. I wired a radio into the dash of the ezgo, wiring it from two batteries, for 12volts. Works great when sitting still, but when I accelerate, the radio gets drowned out in static and I lose all bass in the speakers. not pleasurable to listen to when driving cart. Any insight how to correct this issue?

Make sure your radio and antenna is not grounded to the body of the cart. That will create all kinds of static!

Re: installed radio in EZGO and now lots of static
1. you need to run a seperate 12v battery set up for the tunes. The cart is pulling off the batteries you have hooked up to the stereo. When you go the power goes to the cart. plus your putting additional draw on a supply battery / batteries that will drain at a different rate than the pack. The power draw will be most notable in the bass as the subs need the power to move the larger coil on the speaker
2. Noise can be eleminated with a filter on the power line if you want to keep it hooked up this way. The filters are available at anyplace that sells install kits (like CTD's reply) or wally world for that matter. My 2cents for what its worth from a circus animal..... install a seperate 12v system w/ a filter. lots of threads on this in here. |

Re: installed radio in EZGO and now lots of static
I did not install a stereo but installed a Bluetooth unit amplifier and speakers so I stream music from my phone to my cart thru Bluetooth. I had static at first and troubleshot the entire system thinking I had a ground issue. I used a ground loop isolator and static is now gone crystal clear music on cart. Check into the ground loop isolator and it was only $20. Got mine at the local car stereo shop btw.

My set up is different than yours. I do not have a stereo. I got 1 that went between my Bluetooth unit and the amplifier so it just had the standard red and white rca cable input and output.
