where did you ground your head unit?

having some hiss issues on the HU. It's definitely the ground as i notice differences when grounding from different points in the HU mount. Anyway i need to relocate it to a better point, what's the best method for this?

I'm seriously fed up with this and i'm considering soldering a ring onto some wire and connecting directly to the battery. Seems like overkill though.

Any suggestions guys?
 
my grounds just screwed too one of the bolts when you take the suround off.

where is yours atm?

same spot, soldered it to the factory ground. Not very good there...im going to pick up some solder later on(lost my practically full roll) and solder a big ring to the -ve battery terminal and solder that direct to the HU. See how i go from there i guess...unless someone has a less annoying way of doing this :)
 
get "crimps"

the O ring ones and screw it into a visible screw that goes into direct metal
 
alright, i'll give that a shot tonight or tomorrow depending on how much daylight i have,

thanks guys!
 
also what size wire do you guys recommend for an earth? ill be doing it tomorrow....wont have enough light tonight and no garage :(
 
i think i got 14g or 12g im not sure

but since its your stereo you dont want something ridiculous like 0g :lol:
 
that's how it is now, and i get a hum. That was the whole point of me asking the question lol, i'll grab some new o-rings(only ones i have are too big) and try try try again...

Come on its a Head Unit. all you need is speaker wire and fix it on the orginal stereo position.

easy.

Ditto, the amount of power to the head deck is sweet *fudge* all, speaker wire sort of guage will be fine (probably around an 18 guage or 1mm^2 in metric)
 
tried everything listed here, still have the issue. I'm gonna try a noise filter in a few days, if that doesn't fix it i give up..
 
nope just a HU, 65wx4 inbuilt amp. Shouldn't need anything spectacular to run....only thing i can think of is the filter.

i get whats referred to as engine whine(i think), revs in hte speaker go up and down with the engine. Gets pretty frustrating...:(
