[QUOTE="mike-ocean, post: 3100938, member: 577995"] I don't understand how placing wire around the shields of the rca plugs are going to fix the whine problem. I have a pioneer deh-p680mp and have all of the same problems people are describing. I removed my head unit and decided to place an ohm meter on the shield of the rca plugs on the head unit and then the other probe on the chasis screw and there was no resistance difference. So from an electrical standpoint you are not gaining anything by placing the wire around the rca's. So maybe I am missing something. Could some explain how this helps as I may be missing something. I agree that pioneer should isolate the shields of the rca's from the chasis. I ran the rca's down the middle of my Ford explorer to the amps and the power wires down the driver side of the truck so they are no where near each other. Any help would be appreicated to try and get rid of this problem. It is annoying!!!!!! Thanks Mike [/QUOTE]
