Would have figured anywhere in the power line between either the amp/battery or the battery/alternator.

I'd personally put it as close to the amp as possible. Still, wouldn't have thought 20A was enough for a lot of installs - that's only 260W max.

This is a proper alternator suppressor not one of them ones u buy from ICE shops that u fit in-line with ur amp. U fit it to the altanator, I took mine to a garage and they fitted it for £10.

yeah, as JayC says, you fit it to the altenator although don't expect a massive improvement, they do take away alot of electrical noise to the headunit and standard systems but don't do a great deal to a system with additional amplifiers..... you sure all your signal cables, rca leads etc are run well away from power cables and the cars existing wiring looms?

Should really put the remote down the same side as the power lead cos it has a 12v current flowing thru it.

If you seperate the audio and power cables you shouldnt really have that much of a problem. Especially where they all cross by the amp
