[DML] Re: VB Radio Harness.

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You are confusing the returns from the speakers with the power and
ground connection. The ground connection for the power is adequate for
most applications but if you are installing serious power you should
use dedicated and heavier connections. Most custom install shops will
run their own wires directly to the battery to eliminate connections
and reduce interference. Always fuse your connections as close to the
battery as practicle. In many high power applications they use "caps"
or capacitors to reduce surges (like when the bass vibrates the
windows). It comes down to what you want to do and how much you are
spending. I have seen many installs where they have to leave the motor
running or the battery will quickly go dead, that's how much power
they are using for the music! BTW if you have noise on the power line
you NEVER filter the ground, only the power lead. On installs like
this they have a dedicated battery for the music, isolated from the
rest of the car except the alternator to keep it charged up.
