Obviously, you've been with us on this BBS a long time and therefore have heard (and most likely participated in) all of our discussions about ground loops, which is what you sound like you've got. So there's no sense in hashing over that stuff again.

Yes, actually I've been a member of the forum longer than most. ;)

And I wasn't trying to open up another ground loop discussion. I specifically asked for 97+ TJ Owners with empegs to respond so I could start a dialogue with them regarding their install. I'm not interested in someone diagnosing my supposed ground loop problem, as I've been through it all.

But something that I remember from another discussion that might apply in your case: Someone here reported that a loose wire on his connector (in his case, internal to the empeg) caused noise problems. Can you verify if this is the problem or not?

I would assume this would not be a problem as I had sent the empeg back at one point and it failed no diagnostics then. Audio problems before and after I got it back.

So anyway, as you said, this isn't a ground loop discussion. I just wanted to find a fellow TJ/empeg owner and see exactly where they have it grounded, and so on.
