skittlesRgood Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) You really only need like 2 runs of negative front to back then one or two grounds in the back to the frame and you would be fine. i completely disagree. remember you need negative runs from alt to battery. i like to use an alt mount as a grounding spot. space out the wires along the bus bar. dont just stack them all into one spot.

BlaneC Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 You really only need like 2 runs of negative front to back then one or two grounds in the back to the frame and you would be fine. i completely disagree. remember you need negative runs from alt to battery. i like to use an alt mount as a grounding spot. Why do you disagree? That is more than enough ground. I know that you need the alt to battery grounds but I was just talking about front to back.

Why do you disagree? That is more than enough ground. I know that you need the alt to battery grounds but I was just talking about front to back. why does it make any sense to have 4 positive runs and two negative runs? even if you do two more to the frame, why settle for the much more resistive steel to carry current to your batteries/amps?

dmurria78244 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I was going to ground to alts I just forgot to put it up there also should I increase the runs to engine block or just increase it to 1/0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would it matter where it is coming from. its funny how often people argue with me that dont know what they are talking about. 1st off, DC flows from - to +. second, this is called a circuit. current goes through all the wires. do you think it just disappears?? and if you dont believe me you can go get a clamp meter and measure the + and - wires and see the amperage on each is about the same.

I'm not trying to argue at all man. Amperage may be the same but there is no voltage so the current is not there. I always believe in having good grounds, and I believe what I suggested would be perfectly fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
