I'd say you have 6mm as 6mm is the largest size cable for use with the yellow crimps

Thanks Yeti, I actually think it was you who recommended I get 6mm?

I picked up one for my 96 on ebay, Genuine mopar part, for under $25, there are a few on there at the moment with varying postage costs. Still cheaper than repco

Ground loops can be caused by different things, you can have a perfectly quiet single amped system and then add a second amp with the supply and grounds coming from the same points and you can get noise, it can be especially noticable with lower grade components.
From here there is no real way I can pin point what the cause is but there are a few things that you can do the first thing that I would do is to make sure that the ground is nice and solid for the head unit, this is very important, then look at the connections for the power, are they the factory wiring? This can be fine if the head unit is not super hungry for power or if you are running the speakers off the amp.
Then I would check the main ground from the battery to the body, remove it, clean it and the body add some vaso or silicon grease and then refit, if you have a lot of accessories fitted then upgrade this ground, it is important.
Then check the ground from the engine to the body, same as above, clean and or upgrade it.
Next thing to look at would be how clean and solid is the ground for the aerial?
Then you can start to work through the system so what you can try is to half unplug the rca leads at the amp so that the sheild is disconnected but the centre pin is still connected, if this eliminates the noise then it is easy, use a ground loop isolator.
I have made rca leads in the past using cat5 network cable, they are what is referred to as UTP which means unshielded twisted pairs, it is ugly but I found that they worked very well for that install that was previously noisy so there is no hard and fast rule, it used to be said that you had to run the signal cables down one side of the car and the power down the other otherwise you will get noise, this is rubbish, I have had the whole lot bundled together for a perfectly quiet system and then in other ones I have had them seperated and was getting noise.
So whatever fixes it is what you will need to run with....

As for the 6mm cable, you may very well have bought real 6mm2 cable which is why I asked if it was automotive 6mm or not....

HTH, JJ

Today I pulled the sleeves out of the JK shocks and fitted the bar pins to the fronts and then fitted them all to the Xj.
I just need to give them a good test run....

Fitted and wired up my Bury system 8 kit. Took 3 hours but well worth it.
Now I have mobile phone freedom. :D

despite all the rain and flooding its startig to look like a jeep again,
