Hey man, got a question about your system. In your e34, how did you run your RCA wires? Down the passanger side? Where did you break them through to the trunk? I've been fighting alternator noise for a while now and since you seem to be the expert, and have the same car as me, I'm wondering how you routed your wires. Here's how I have it (incorrectly) setup for the moment.
Power coming off the battery runs up under the backseat, breaks through a circular opening in the little "tray" in the back of the trunk.
Ground is run straight into the metal of the trunk's floor, to the left (drivers side) of the spare tire. I drilled a hole into the trunk and sanded off the paint to ensure a decent contact.
RCAs run down the middle of the center console, under the carpet until they reach the backseat, they then head toward the drivers side, where I have them break through to the trunk in a similar spot as the power wires.
I'm running two amps, a Pioneer 800W 4 channel and a Memphis Mono Sub amp to two 12"s. Alternator noise is fairly pronounced. I'm sure you've managed to eliminate it in your e34, so if you had any advise as to where to run wires I'd appreciate it.
