    got some free 1\0awg the other day.

    people will still steal your ****. They'll just be more slick about it. No one who steals thinks they are going to get caught. Fortunately there's karma. Maybe the guy who lost his wire is getting his karma for illegally parking on a daily basis and putting lives in Jeopardy. But what will...

    2 or 4 volt preamp on Head Unit

    well when i dumped my 2v preout Kenwood and bought a 4v preout alpine I lost 100% roadnoise. Maybe the wires where just loose inside the kenwood. i thought it was because of the higher voltage.

    best HU's- budget $500-750

    Don't put that much money into sony or kenwood they won't last. i'd go with alpine or pioneer.

    2 or 4 volt preamp on Head Unit

    Yeah no road noise with a 4v preout plus you don't need to turn the gain up as much on the amp.

    fues rating

    you probably don't need a fuse for the memory/constant wire but if you feel like using one 15amps should work. I would use a 15 or 20 in the power too. Although on my deck I don't use any fuses in the wires. haven't had a problem for the past 10 years.

    My system sounds like A$$ what am I doing wrong?

    I'm sure you've already done this but I would suggest disconnecting everything and rewiring it, maybe even buy knew RCA's. IMO Alpines are the best hus. Unless yours is damaged from shipping or something I've never heard a poor sounding alpine at any setting unless the wires where messed up.

    ground loop isolator

    I made the isolator but it didn't get rid of the road noise. Do you think if I get a new alpine with 4v pre-outs it will fix the problem?
