    Negative terminal on the battery would be the best earth , but I suspect your picking up the noise from else where

    Agreed!

    It won't be the earth wire thats causing the noise. Where have you run the power and RCA's? Are they run together or two seperate paths? If you've run them together down the same path thats ya problem, or running RCA's thru the middle.

    I recently wired up my e36 with a sub. RCA's down the drivers side, Power down the passengers, Earth from the tow bar bolt in the boot. No noice what so ever.

    Let me know, and ill try to help.

    Greg, fusebox should be in the engine bay like most other E36s, as far as I know it's the only fusebox unlike the E39. There should be some relays beside the fusebox and relays are also located under the driver's dashboard or glovebox or both, can't remember exactly.

    As Yuen said, there is only one fuse box and thats in the engine bay. This is the case with my E36 aswell.

    Lift the bonnet and check the fuses. Its a 2 min job. That'll soon tell you if its just a fuse or something more serious.

    Good Luck :)

    O.k thanks guys, i had a quick look under the dash before and there is just looms for miles, plugs, wires etc, where the hell is the fuse box? I dont think the engine fuse box will be related to that.

    Well im guessing you car is different to mine. My fuse box (black) is in the engine bay on the passengers side by the battery up against the fire wall. Under the cover it has the number of each fuse and what it is for. Just by looking at the fuses from the top you can tell what has blown, if any have.

    Let me know how you get on.

    A friend of mine has written this on a couple other forums. Thought Id post this for everyone to read. Never using Tonys again!

    Tonys Tire Thieves

    Thought I'd fill you all in on my little dilemma and see if anyone else has had a similar problem.

    I've had a 98 Altezza for a couple of years now and the wheels are mint. Only 1 small scuff on 1 rim.

    Took my car into Tonys, Cambridge tce, Wellington, the other Saturday afternoon just before closing to get 2 new tires put on. The manager was all good, said he'd rotate the rear to the front and put the new ones on the back....made sense. Told me to come back in about an hour.

    So I rocked on back jumped in the car a shot down to VTNZ to get the warrant completed before they closed. Hopped out of the car, had a good look at the tires with the VTNZ guy and what the hell.......the rims were scratched to hell. Closer inspection revealed that these weren't even my rims at all.

    Shot back to Tonys only to find them closed. I was pissed all weekend. Went down to Tonys on monday morning only to be fobbed off by the manager. He told me to file a police report. All the managers including Steve Lang didn't want a bar of it. Didn't offer any compensation or anything. NOTHING. Told me he had to support his (thieving) staff.

    So I filed the police report but that still leaves me with 4 rims that are scratched to hell that aren't mine that I now have to pay to get re-built.

    So much for 'Rule no.1 The customer's always right'.

    As Yuen said, there is no such thing as sacking and legal.

    Ive done superlow springs in my coupe before. Acheived about a 40mm drop. Looked good (not too low at all) but well well under the legal limit and failed a wof. Have low springs on the car at present. Car is at a good height, not low at IMO but still under just under the 100mm limit. Manages to get a WOF thou.
