Been reading up on alternator whine. Thinking of trying a new ground for the head unit, running it back to the storage bin where I just installed a really solid ground - this is where I would ground an aftermarket amp if I get one someday and from what I reading its best to ground all stereo components in the same location.

Still trying to get rid of the alternator whine. At times its very subtle and I can barely hear it, other times its quite loud. I think the volume of it may be related to electrical load, seems louder when the headlights are on. I tried changing the ground point for the stereo but that didn't help any.

Great I'd like to see that, are there any downsides to doing this?

Sounds like a plenum pull though... unless I can plumb it in back where the alternator wire connects to the battery.
