hi all... i got a new white 300km/h speedo kit from POLICE a few weeks ago and some niiiiice blue led clusters from 666DAN last week... came time to install them today and it works grrr8 very happy... calibrated the speed using my navman n its super until i decide to put the clear, plastic shield back over the cluster and then oh ohh... there is spray paint mist all over it! any ideas on how to get it off... ive tried soapy water... nail polish remover wit no luck... then came time for the turps... n it still didnt come off... has anyone got any ideas on how to get it off? or perhaps do i have to find a new cover?

Feedback Through Speakers =( Also Making Battery Flat?
gumflapper replied to fighterjet33's topic in Car Audio & Electrical
im not sure about speaker wiring... but this may be help to anyone who has had wiring done... the reason you must seperate your power cables and your speaker cables is due to magnetism... when a wire has current flowing thru it (power cable), the current running thru the cable generates a magnetic field... this magnetic field "induces" current into the speaker wires which obviously carry the sound current... the hissing/interference noise is that magnetic field interferring (inducing curent) with the sound signals going from the amp to the speakers... this is same problem as running data cabling next to power cables for socket outlets... the magnetic field disturbs the data signals between computer and you have all sorts of problems... this is generally overcome by "screening" or "shielding"... im not sure if you can get audio cabling that has this built into it aswell... hope this answer any questions as to why you must seperate your power cables from just about anything else... -
