Gernerally it's not noticable if the RCA's are being used to amplify subwoofers, but definetly becomes noticable when you go to amplify your door/deck speakers. _____________________________ (in reply to Dusty Eclipse) Post #: 16

RE: Radio static when revving engine - 4/18/2007 5:33:44 PM    antlip Posts: 1270 Joined: 12/27/2005 Status: offline Cheap crapped out RCA cables will produce low singals. We all know a low signal will produce a  bad sound. You want to have a good strong set to allow the best singal going to the amps. _____________________________ 07 XLS Outlander Graphite Gray Pearl Navi, Sun + Sound, Luxury, AWD 1970 Chevelle 350 http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/antlip/Chevelle/Picture001.jpg 1995 Eclipse GSX Auto 6 Bolt SOLD (in reply to Dusty Eclipse) Post #: 18

P.S. - I was thinking it had something to do with spark plugs, but I can only base that on a loose and remote possibility.  I also thought I remembered something about wiring a capacitor somewhere in the engine compartment, but I also seem to remember that was for older model cars, heheh...  RCA and ground sound more reliable anyways, lol.  Thanks! < Message edited by R3D -- 4/20/2007 1:16:43 PM > (in reply to Lil Evo) Post #: 20
