Belt Help

After dealing with squealing belts for a couple weeks, I got around to replacing the belts. First off, what a pain in the a$$. I still have a slight chirp from the belts when I give it gas. The tension on the belts is right, and I think it might be coming from the belt tensioner/idler pulley. I quess it is possible to tighten it to much. Any help would be appriciated.

my guess is that the belt isn't quite tight enough or its the pulley making the noise

For lack of better terms, I just kept tinkering with it until it stopped. I have a nice metal rash on my right forearm now.

The rash rocks. I wear it like a badge of honor.
