Just a quicky, when running amp/phono cables etc. can someone advise as to which wires you keep seperate ie run the wires on either side? I'm tryna remember if you keep the phono cables seperate from the remote lead or power cable etc etc as a mates car is getting a lot of interference on the sub and all 3 cables are all on one side!

Its recormend not to run the power cables with the phono leads, I dont think the remote would cause much of a issue its got such a weak power signal

Considering Selling the Cabby, looks like its gonna go

Ive run my phono cables and remote down the centre of the car and the main power cable along the passenger side and I dont have any problems with that.

Generally speaking, just run power and signal (phono's) seperately!!
Remote may only be very low power, but it's more likely to be a crap cable with no shielding!! Though shouldn't really cause any probs!!
What sort of interference is it??
Does it change with engine revs??
Def only on the sub, or on the whole system??

yea if u run phono and power together u can get annoyinf feedback from the other electrics in the car, if u do this its easily fixed with a supressor
