how many do I need to buy? was going to order FARK, door adaptors, mounting board from ******** in a couple weeks and wanted to order the ground loop isolators also on recommendation from some others from the board. just not sure if I need one or more.

thanks for the replies in advance

One. Goes between the FARK and the amp.

You actually need two. One for front set, one for rear. Not necessarily a requirement though. Purely dependent on the amp, but is good investment either way.

Not quite sure why you need a Iso.. you really only need them of you're getting static from your speakers.

FYI, just installed FARK with a 4-channel Alpine amp, no isolators and no noise.

You should not need a Iso. it coms down to the amp that you are using. You normal use Iso when you have long run of RCA say from a head unit to the trunk that pick up line Noise if you are use the franks you should not pick up any noise and even if you did if I were you I would use be the last thing I would do. You can ground the RCA get ride of the noise.
