He got rid of a ground loop
the outer sheild of an rca cable is grounded and used as a reference for the signal, so he connected the two so they both shared the same ground.

Are they two ways, or components? Are they hooked up to an amplifier or are they running off your head unit? Sounds like you have a bad ground or there is a ground loop.

Well mine's velcro'd to the floor and the back of the back seat, so its not going any further forward. Doesnt seem to have a problem on turns either as long as you use enough.
