No, if the package says shielded, then it is (it says shielded). It just doesn't look pretty like the orange Hooker Audio cables. I went for a drive, and I believe I have finally gotten rid of my alternator whine, by replacing the cables with Shielded cables!

So it turns out that I can only run 4.1 sound right now, due to the fact that it doesn't make sense to power my stock sub with my AMP (as it would be too much). I will have to wait till I get a decent SUB to do that. So I went and got another RCA cable, and I will be setting it up shortly. Below is how I will have to do it:

Updated the first posts with new pictures of stuff I've done in the last year.

Are you still having audio problems with the static and noise from computer actions? I've had the same problem. I tired everything....changing grounds....plugging in two Ground loops isolators at a time....nothing worked. Finally I figured out, it was the motherboard. I swaped out the DFI board for a intel d201gly2 little valley board and it's been perfect. No noise or static, just crystal clear sound. Hope that helps

Interesting. I did a work-around by using digital SPDIF-IN for my Sirius audio.

I cleaned up some of the wiring this weekend, re-did some grounds, and re-routed what I could.

This will be my next purchase for my car computer system:



It is the Phoenix SOHO PCI Conference Card. The only problem is that I have one PCI slot, and it is being used, but there is a solution! There is a thread where forum member Salmizar figured out how to power the PCI card externally, and was able to achieve awesome echo-canceling results for car phone conferencing. Just needs 5V that you can get from the 5V rail on your power supply, or you can hack up a USB cable to get the power instead. They even tell how to make an external enclosure for it!! It is basically used as a pass-through for sound, so that the card can execute hardware echo cancellation.
