    etlsport,

    engine whine was a problem for me as well... the only real way i found a solution was through a lot of trial and error troubleshooting. in my case it ended up being a bad head unit ground (although, there was still a *slight* hint of noise even after that...)

    before buying bandaids like the isolator, make take some time to review all the connections power, ground, etc., (also making sure your RCA's are connected properly - my monster cables are 'directional').

    not sure how your wiring is laid out, but also make sure the power wires do not run along side the rca's, etc.

    best of luck.

    -beeej.

    No, seriously, well actually it consists of 2 caps with a homemade coil.
    like in the pic added.


    The coil is made from .8 mm. wiring. You can wind the coil around 40 cm of PVC tube used in home electrics.

    Good luck this will filter everything guaranteed!

    well as it turns out im not too bright... i went to remove the seat, as soon as i took the bolt i grounded to out, both grounds just slid right out.. as it turns out the seat bracket was resting on the insulation part of the wire and not the ring terminals.. a small washer and some twisting of wires fixed it up quick fast and in a hurry! no more eeeeEEEEEEEEeeeEEEEEEEEE sound
