<VV> really simple dumb question: coil radio noise suppressor

[Ray Rodriguez III]

Thanks Bill, can you tell me more about this modern noise choke?  Where do 
you install it and where do I get one (radio shack?)

Here is what Ive got....

Original factory FM radio
Signal goes out from this to the rear package tray where I run it through a 
cheap crossover, through a radio shack ground loop radio noise eliminator 
(that knocked it down to 50% of what it was), to a cheap amplifier.
>From that amp the speaker wires go to the four speakers in the rear package 
tray and to the one speaker in the factory dash location.

I am using Seth's plug wires

Input to the factory radio is the factory FM antenna and a sattelite radio 
unit with an FM direct adapter.. this automatically disonnects the antenna 
and pipes the signal for the sattelite radio directly into the antenna input 
on the factory radio.

I get noise in the speakers as long as the amp is on, even if the radio is 
not on.

The other really odd thing is apparently I only need a single lead for a 
radio signal...  when I disconnect the "negative" speaker wire from the 
crossover input the music still plays just the same.  I noticed the old 
speaker someone had installed in the rear tray had only one wire to the 
radio and the other was connected to ground....
