dkahns51 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Ok, im getting ready to do this and since i blew a amp up last time i played with a tool... i want to make sure i'm doing this right. How do i hook the alligator clip up to the negative ground if its 0 gauge? Do i just stick it on the bare wires that are barely showing out of amp? When i do these test do i have the car runnin on? Or do i just have the Accessories on?

RickyFriery97 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Just clip the negative to the ground, clipping it to the wires is fine, and id do it with the car running Quote 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkahns51 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) Just clip the negative to the ground, clipping it to the wires is fine, and id do it with the car running Clip it to the 0 gauge ground? Will the aligator clip penetrate the ground wire or does it need to? or the ground of the car? There is no car ground area where my amps are. Should i just clip it on the amp ground area.. like in the whole a little?

sewerman Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 As long as its grounded. Doesn't matter wher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkahns51 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Im just trying to make sure i got it right . My 0 gauge goes to my battery, and the battery is grounded to the chassis. So.. by clipping it on the bare wire next to the amp on the 0 gauge that would ensure it being grounded?
