on with the technicalities, i cant win. im keeping my million dollars.

 

If only you had it to keep...

 

someday...

 

yea someday................

anyways, answer my bloody question .

nah, I'm kidding around.

So I was rereading, and I thought to myself, instead of going out today and buy more 4ga wire and a distribution block, I'm going to attempt to stretch the ground wire as nicely as possible to the floor of the trunk (not the spare wheel well), drill a hole, grind away whatever paint, and attach a bolt into the new hole and slip my ground wires between the bolt and trunk floor. Does this sound like a good attempt of grounding? I plan on using the floor portion that is near the passenger side wheel well for the rear tire, put my hole around there and bolt around there, what do you guys think of that idea? Would it be just as good as attaching the ground to a part of the spare tire wheel well? Also, is there anything under that area I should be aware of before drilling into it? I mean, yea I'll check before I drill, but knowing what to look for is always good, if theres anything to look for at all... :-D

 

you must have EE's confused with physicists/ EES are the ones who do things in the real world with the theories the physicists came up with.

 

Iam serious , wiht the faceplate off still whines.

 

Your amps are hooked up to remote turn on? If wired correctly, your amps wouldnt still be on with the radio off or faceplate disconnected.

 

mine does
and i dont even HAVE a system hooked up yet - just the AVN but audio is powered off

i think its my AC, seriously

edit: paypal to djfrestyl@comcast.net kthanksbye

 

How can your system whine if you dont have a system.....im confused

And seeing some of the 2 da max style installs Ive seen, I shouldve known better than to say that haha.

 

its not coming from the speakers/system

its coming from the engine

and NO, my work is NOWHERE NEAR the quality (or lack thereof) of 2 da max's

 

Wait, what wire did you tap into for the remote turn on? I used the 12v remote lead in a wiring diagram, and it's only good for when the car is on or off. Like when the car is on or in "acc", then amps power up, but radio can still be turned off, what wire is there that turns the amp on and off with the headunit? keep in mind, stock hu.

 

dj - i wasnt dissing your personal install, there would be no reason for me to. i was just saying i shouldnt have said that, having seen some things in the past lol.

snair - stock bose? If so the turn on wire should be right at the rear deck Bose amp (5th gen). Im not sure if factory non-bose has a remote turn on outpuit.

 

no worries, my friend
but its necessary to defend especially when such a TERRIBLE insult is even SUGGESTED...much less actually accused.

and regarding all this alternator whine nonsense - remove the alt, problem solved

 

very good point

 

Yea, I'm not to sure on the stock bose setup, my factory hu is non-bose. Anyways, I'm going to head out to some shops and pick some stuff up. What kind of bolts, nuts, or screws should I look to get inorder to ground my ground cables to the trunk floor properly? I'm also going to get some new tools, my sockets and socket wrenches are all broken and missing parts... I'm so damn excited to get the new tools now!!!
