Ordered these Tinned Copper Cable Lugs Ring Terminals AWG Welding Battery Marine Cable Wire | eBay Thanks @ChaseinBass

Thanks guys, a co worker used compete in audio competitions and said he recommended soldering and said he would do it for me, just need to order the stuff for him. Ill do some more digging around. is 3/8" the standard size?

Looking to get some Terminals for the Big 3 upgrade, but not sure what the best ones to get are. I saw these: Amazon.com: Pico 4439C 1/0 AWG Battery Cable 3/8" Tubular Lug Ring / Eye Terminals 15 Per Package: Automotive and thought they look pretty good but wanted to see what others recommend...

Looking at adding a 2nd battery in my mustang, i upgraded the alternator to 200amps, still need to do the BIG 3 upgrade. Anyway every once in a while when the bass hits or i have it pretty loud, my amp used for speakers shuts off from power loss. Current setup: Kicker L5 10" Sub Kicker ZX...

Just got the CDE-143BT yesterday, What a world of a difference it made sound so much better I had a friend who is a soldering guru remove the Pico fuse and solder a bridge and it made it so much worse lol..

Ill have some funds to buy a new deck within the next week, im not sure what T/A or active does, but how does the Alpine CDE-143BT look? I don't need satellite or HD radio, i only have a 1 Din slot in my car, i have also head kenwoods are kinda like pioneers, or are the new pioneer decks...

Thats a good idea for the trunk ground, having a mustang i dont have a frame (mustangs are unibodies) I have tried 2 different grounds on my amps, but if i use a rca cord to 3.5mm and plug it into my iphone or ipod and get no noise with the car running wouldnt that mean my amps are grounded...

When the volume is at 0 the whine is still there but a tiny bit quieter than with it at volume 1, i don't remember any whine when i had no aftermarket amps and it was running through the factory amps (factory system was a mach 460 had like 2 or 3 little amps)

Im confused on the grounding the lugs or whatever, If i soldered the Pico though it would do the same repair?

Ill give it a shot and play more with grounding, i did tap a ground wire to the rcas once and it made it better so maybe it could work. Thanks

He was getting that noise with the car off and just using battery power, i only get it when the car is running.. Im gonna try grounding the deck to the Negative battery terminal one more time and if doesn't fix it im gonna get a alpine..

I think i tried that, i know i put a 2nd ground off the harness to another ground point but ill try running one to my battery.

I have tried 3 differnt RCAs running them over the seats running them outside of the trunk and back in the door. Tested the amps by plugging in a rca to 3.5mm cord to my iphone and with the car running no noise, everything points to the deck though.. Here is a video of triple shielded RCAs...

Took it apart and found the ! is it the fuse with P on it with P251 next to it? or can you circle what one? Couldnt i just solder from point to point with a tiny bit of solder?
