CVLover Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I am looking at doing this my self with the equipment I have in the car, everything is sorted for the build but I can not figure out how to ground the amps, so how did you ground the amps????????? looks good but the sound does not come up to well if ur gna ground an amp in a car, you need to connect the ground to the chassis of the car, thats a good ground, the cable shouldnt be more than 50cm and use a medium thick wire then your good! , you can ground it too the back seats with the bolt it bangs ;D Cerwin Vega <3 .

And the black one to the negative(-) of your amp. Some amps also have a mem terminal this is used to keep the amps settings when the cars ignition is turned off. Some amps need this to work other dont, if yours does need/have this attach another yellow wire to this terminal. Now depending on your powersupply and how old it is will depend on how you turn it on older ones have a switch (AT power supplys) newer ATX power supplys are turned on by the motherboard, this isnt a problem though there is a hack to get around this. There should be a largish connector coming out of the powersupply about a 20 pin connector i forget how many now but anyways cut the green wire going into the plug and a black wire. Now when you want to turn on the powersupply short these two wires and it will start up., i think you can make an switch here but i havet tried Cerwin Vega <3 . When Bass Counts!
