Wow! amazing.  I have never hear of any body getting alternator whine.  I have heard of the stuff coming through RCA cables but not through a ground loop.   Here is my solution.  Hook the CD player up right.  You can go to Best Buy, Circuit City or any local radio shop and pick up a wiring harness.  You will solder the wires coming from the CD head unit to the wiring harness.  Then the harness just plugs into the harness in the car.  This makes things 10 times easier.  The wires are marked, the solding takes about 15 mins and your system will sound 10 time better.   How do I know this.  I just installed and Alpine DVA-5205 and a CVA-1005...both from Alpine (www.alpine1.com).  I used the wiring harness, Shielded RCAs for both the audio, video, and PS2/XBox jacks.   Seth Gee Clemson University | Graphic Communications Webmaster http://www.liquid6studios.com (now) 98 Honda Civic DX (had) 88 Honda CRX DX 5-spd ----- Original Message ----- From: George Freeman To: 'Ronnie Overby' ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 02, 2003 8:30 PM Subject: CRX: RE: Re: audio hum Ronnie,     You have a ground loop which is causing "alternator whine."  The solution is to purchase a ground loop isolator audio cable that Radio Shack sells.  Check out the http://www.radioshack.com and look up the following:     Ground Loop Isolator $14.99 Brand: RadioShack Catalog #: 270-054     George "Little Beast" '89 DX-Hybrid-D16Z6, 128k miles Seats, Suspension, Engine, MSD   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ronnie Overby Sent: Sunday, February 02, 2003 7:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CRX: Re: audio hum furthermore:   there is an 1/8" input on the front of the reciever.   im plugging my cd player in through this   the hum ONLY happens when the cd player is being used while powered by the cigarrette lighter.   ideas? ----- Original Message ----- From: Ronnie Overby To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 02, 2003 6:45 PM Subject: CRX: audio hum i installed a stereo today in 88 si.   bear in mind no RCA cables involved   a hum can be heard over spearkers when the engine is running....the hum's pitch increases as rpm's increase.   my friend tony said..."need a ground loop isolator"   i went to walmart...all they had was RCA GLI's....   what do i  do????   thanks, ronnie
