From now on I will post here when my next live session will be!!! Next Live Show: NOW!! COME WATCH!!! Andrew

I would start by upgrading your negative battery terminal clamp to a similar on that you are using on the positive post. You can leave all of your factory ground wires where the are. Run a ground wire from the battery to a strut tower bolt or another good location. Add a ground wire from the engine block, or a bracket attached to it, to a strut tower bolt or another good location. Your engine ground wire does not need to be on the same side as the battery. Adding a large gauge charge wire is a great idea. This maybe the most difficult out of the three. Leave the factory charge wire in place and route your larger charge wire in a similar fashion. I like to fuse my charge wire, some people do not. Here is a helpful video The following pictures I had taken while installing my engine ground and charge wire. I retained all of the factory wires. In this photo you can see my engine ground wire running from an engine bracket to the passenger side strut tower. This picture shows my battery ground going from the battery to the driver's side strut tower. This picture shows my fused charge wire running from the alternator to the battery. Final connections at battery including power and ground runs to rear battery and factory wires.

I don't care if Fi or sundown made the product, I still wouldn't buy it.... Im questioning the purpose, not the maker.

I heard the neodymium was not cost effective, back to ferrite.

I don't think anyone here is trying to claim they "know more" than the designers or try to prove that as their point. But we don't need to know more than them, we just have to know the intended purpose of the device......which we do. I don't think anyone here is trying to "downtalk" someone else's invention, but rather discuss the potential benefit of such a device. Just because someone produces a product, it doesn't mean everyone has to agree that it has a potential benefit and is worth a purchase. People can disagree about the potential benefit of a product, and they can voice this opinion. If you have such an issue with someone voicing their own opinion, whether you agree with it or not, then you have a long road of life ahead of you. Why is it hard to believe someone may have an opposing opinion? I would actually argue that SMD and his designer (Tony?) didn't come up with the idea, either. Or atleast, they weren't the first. I remember several years ago Chris (he goes by "thechris" or "thch" on the forums) had an identical idea and was actually in the design phase....don't know what ever came of it. It will take me a little bit to find all of the info though. Ah ha...Success! Notice the thread dates; over 5 years ago. http://www.caraudio....tting-tool.html http://www.caraudio....tting-tool.html I don't really see how testing a device such as this really has anything to do with influencing someone's opinion of it's usefulness and benefits. Someone can form an opinion on the usefulness of a device such as this without needing to see the LEDs lighting up. The concept is fairly easy to grasp, and it's the concept and benefits of use that are in disagreement. If you think it's a good product then great....buy it. But don't expect everyone to agree with you, and don't expect those who disagree to bit their tongues. Instead of coming in here just to complain because you don't like M5's opinion, why don't you try refuting his statements with valid reasons as to why you see benefit in such a product and actually contribute to the conversation.

I'd do the doors next, but get a barrier in there, between the inner skin and trim panel. A lot of tire noise comes in through the front edges of the front door and the rear edges of the rear doors. It will also make a big dent in traffic noise. It should make an audible difference in noise levels and will cut down on the omnidirectional noise you're hearing now. That improvement may encourage her to let you revisit the floor, cargo area floor and quarter panels. You'll need a barrier in those areas as well. Hondas have a lot of vibration damper on the floor from the factory. Adding more will only reduce noise levels if you add enough layers to create a barrier. That's not an efficient or cost effective way to do things. Multiple layers at 100% coverage is also going to be a big problem if the vehicle ever needs body work.

Kirill man you're wasting your time. As usual they know more about a product than the maker/designer/ company. With that being said, instead of tring to downtalk someones elses invention, just go out and make your own device and use it in the way u see fit. Why is it so hard to belive that you can get a good product for a reasonable price. Is it becasue we didn't come up with the idea???? Audio equipment has been around for ages, and with todays technology, i'm quite sure such device is possible to produce. So instead of bashing a product first, test one out and send reviews for us to read/see and to make our on informed decisions on what is a good product.

Agreed. Probably because Meade is helping work on it. Everytime I've seen his name mentioned on here, its been followed by numerous bashes (*cough* M5). I guess they're just haters.... I dunno
