[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 835606, member: 555320"] Thanks 3.5Max. Though, it is more than just a "single ended system" with a ground. It is fully balanced (regular and inverted signals with matching impedences and a reference ground). Which is why I think you are misunderstanding how it works Hoot. The BLA combats noise by sending the amps two input signal with matching impedences at the reference ground. You want the run of [I]balanced[/I] cable to be the length of your car. Why? Because, if you run the unbalanced cable the length of you car, then into the BLA right before the amps, the BLA will interpret any induced noise (from the unbalanced run) as part of the original input signal. So it will faithfully send that noise on to the amplifiers. But, if you send the BLA a "noise free" input signal (straight out of the HU), THEN run the balanced cables the length of the car, the balanced signals will "cancel out" any induced noise throughout the long run. Make sense? Also, I don't see what's so wrong with doing it Eclipse's way. My amps accept dual RCA balanced inputs, so I just may use the BLA when my 8053 gets here. But first I gotta figure out if my old school amps from the tape deck era will like 16V input [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
