ok, so I've been hav'n a little trouble finding the source of my alternator whine. did i say little?
well near the end of my rope, hunting for ideas (big THANK YOU to Tony and others for the links to help me fig'r it out) I decided to get a knife, then I grabbed the closest non-conductive thing i coulf find, a box of special K cereal. chopped it up and lined the inside of my sled with it, only a whole for the main plug.
BINGO !!! the alternator whine is g o n e.
so I'll cut 'speed holes' in the cardboard so the empeg can breath/cool....but what on earth does this mean?
