ok, big ass cables to ground and power at battery (for empeg and amp).
switch rca cables.
held everything up in the air just incase leather conducts (haha).
grounded then ungrounded the sled.
pulled sled and checked all leads.
checked for voltage drops at each connection.

one thing I really wanna know is just how much noise (alt, ignition or empeg HD) do other people get?
should i expect even a little?
