Hi I just installed a voltage stabilizer by pivot raizin. But I couldnt notice any difference at all. And with all the remaining ground wires, should I connect them up? Has anyone done this to a euro before?

for a perfect built car like Euro, u may not feel the different (plus it need to works with ground kit I think) as I felt the diff on my Jazz but not on my Euro.

ive got the pivot on my euro too but i cant feel sht.....if there is any difference, its very un-noticeable.....
One ground to the driver's side engine mount, one to the passenger's side gearbox, one ground to the chassis on the passenger side front where it replaces the stock ground. I also grounded the alternator and the sensor ground underneath the plastic cover. BTW, my ground kit cost $45. 4 gauge cable as well! Yours is 6 or 8 gauge.Quote:

since u cant feel any diffrence.. wat does this realy do? and is it useful?
Did you have static before or after the pivot raizin installation? If you added grounds, you have to remove the existing grounds first. If you have multiple grounds, you will get a ground loop that will carry current and cause static.Quote:

Zero static issues. But I don't have an ipod adapter. I recommend you trace the Euro's headunit ground and ground that to the negative terminal. See if that fixes your static.Quote:

Edit: BTW, who soldered your ground wires to your speakers? They might have done it badly and resulted in a cold solder.
I got audioFX to install the fronts. How do I ground the negative terminal of the head unit?
So if I installed one to passenger side front, which stock ground cable should I remove?
I used to have one as well, it improves starting the engine when cold. Other than that, I don't think it does anything else. It might reduce static, but I didn't notice any difference with my audio (custom install).
As for grounding points, there's one on the passenger side (engine's grounding), one under the airbox, and I put the other one under the fuse box. This thread might help: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...308#post231308
