kmalinich Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 If it's convenient to ground separately I do. If it isn't, I solder up the harness, plug in the deck, and verify that there isn't any noise. If there is noise.... I trace back my steps, add a jumper ground as a test, and if it works I know where the problem is. If there isn't, I got lucky and everything is nice and soldered up, and can be unplugged in one go. X2... If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Especially if you don't know if it's broken yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanitarium Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I actually have a set of MA audio rca wires with a single black wire coming out of ONE END of it meant to be grounded out behind the headunit. Not using it right now because I've never had ground loop noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imupabove Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 "Extend the Head Unit's ground wire to the Amp ground location. Ground everything in the audio system (equilizers, crossovers, etc) to a single point near the Amplifier to eliminate the ground loop" is this a good idea? iDA-X200/Clarion EQS746 RF T500-1bd (2) 12" RF HX's Kicker 350.4 Alpine & Polk Speakers Stock electrical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground everything in the audio system (equilizers, crossovers, etc) to a single point near the Amplifier to eliminate the ground loop" is this a good idea? Nope.... It's just a cover up. High output voltage deck Properly Ran quality RCAs Good Grounds Luck Is all it takes to have a noise free ride. I don't have any bullshit grounds in my system, off the back of the deck, off the RCAs, off anything and I'm 100% noise free. No noise filters, no nothing. Just a pop stopper... even though I don't have any pops within the system. Just figured it would work out for me, and I wanted to try it out. Some people get the occasional protect or pop on a hot start from playing with the ignition on, then starting the car.... Not an issue for me.

SmallTruk Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 no that wire is a ground. you are supposed to ground one end and leave the other open it is for sound cancellation it helps the rcas have a better signal. have you ever heard of not running you rcas and power wire down the same side? so why would you run the remote wire (which is a live power wire) right in the middle of your rcas. think about it i dont see how a wire grounded at one end will provide sound cancellation? if the wire is only connected at one end, it isnt passing any current and is essentially just a dead wire. power wires and remote wires arent really the same thing. yes they are both 12v+ wires, but the remote wire isnt made to power anything, its just meant to provide a signal. a few runs of 0ga vs a single 18ga wire with .2 amps of current...
