Battery relocation Reply #60 – September 22, 2012, 11:24:08 AM One other note even though it should be a whole other thread, do not ground your radio with the ground wire coming off the back of the head unit if you have a fender mount antenna. When you plug the fender mounted antenna into the head unit it will ground the head unit thus eliminating a ground loop. We did it this way for years when I worked at the HiFi Shop and they still do it to this day. The only other source of motor whine will be running the RCA cables near a power wire but if the RCA's are shielded like they should be then even then its not a problem. With all that said this is from my years of experience with car audio but there are all kinds of ways to do things and this certainly is not the only way or the only thing a person would have to do to get rid of the dreaded "motor whine".Darren Quote Selected

Battery relocation Reply #62 – September 22, 2012, 03:02:37 PM 02 & 03 cable...(lol) Good to see you guy's feel comfortable enough to give me sh_t! Aerocoupe, that's not a learning curve, that just old, tired and wore out (lol). Last Tuesday, I forgot my girl's birthday... I worked on the car all day. She has no problem reminding me that I OWE HER. So, anyway, have you guy's seen another Cougar wired the way mine is? I have never had a problem with my radio picking up any noise and I do have a fender mount antenna. So, I never got answer about using Lowe's eighty some cent's a foot cable. Is it alright to use or is it rated differently? Areocoupe, steeeep, you have no idea....some days!!! Quote Selected
Battery relocation Reply #63 – September 22, 2012, 03:13:28 PM I use welding cable from a local welding supply. I have to run to Lowes here in a couple hours so I will check out what they have and let you know if it is the same thing, close to, or not close at all to what I use.Darren Quote Selected
Battery relocation Reply #64 – September 25, 2012, 08:26:25 PM I want to "Thanks You" guy's for setting me straight on my wiring! I had it all messed up. I think I have been working too many hours on it lately. You were right Tom, it was so easy and I didn't realize what I was doing until I sat down and looked at the schematic. Some thing still isn't right, so I'll post a new thread. Quote Selected
