Default Rear mounted battery - Alternator noise - Amplifiers

Has anyone experiencing electrical noise problems after moving their battery to the rear?

Any tips? grounding points, etc.?

Car is a pillar belt CRX HF with a B-series and a standard OEM battery in the rear (inside a sealed box)

my car comes with a trunk mounted battery - no alternator noise issues.

they key would be properly sized and mounted ground cables for all equipment.

One thing to remember when you move the battery to the back.

The battery is now further away from the alternator. Just like any wire when distance is increased the guage of wire used must also decrease (larger guage wire).

Try upgradeing your grounds with bigger wire.

I would suggest you do the same to the alternator power wire.
