252chevyboyz Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hey what's up y'all I got a question on if my ground is actually enough ground. Any ideas on improving it are welcome. Don't really want to have to drill through the floor to reach the frame but what are y'alls suggestions?

6berry Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 is that bolt going into any thick piece of metal or just the seat frame thing? if that bolt is on that holds the seat in place then you should be good with just sanding the paint off where the ring terminal contacts the metal Quote 1999 Audi A4 1.8T::: 4 - DC Level 3 10's in a 4th order Rockford P6002 on Subs for now (3-3.5k coming eventually) MB Quart ONX4.60 for Mids and Highs Boston S50 Components in Front Boston S65 Coaxials in Rear 40 Sq Ft of Second Skin Damplifier Build Thread UBL 1948 Plymouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan916 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Is that plastic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Looks like you need to sand that spot down so you've got metal-to-metal contact. From the pic it looks like it's on painted metal, which I bet it is. If it's a solid piece of metal that goes straight to the frame or that seats bolt into, you're fine. EDIT: WAIT. PAUSE. Looks like that's the side of the car next to the door and it's plastic. And the bolt is the only thing making contact with the ring terminal. If this is the case, you should probably find a new spot for the ground where it's touching some bare metal. Edited August 18, 2011 by Maxim Quote wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
252chevyboyz Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 The bolt is going through the seat frame (painted metal maybe 1/8" thick) and the bolt is then threaded into metal that is 1/2" thick. I don't think its the frame but ill try and get some pics. Its 9pm here but if I can't grab some tonight ill get some in the mornin. Looks to be aluminum that its threaded into to but I am gonna have to sand it down tomorrow. Also the hole its threaded into is all the way through like I can see the ground Quote - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6berry Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 that should be a good spot to ground it. just sand/grind the paint off the area where the ring terminal makes contact with the metal and clean the surface rust off the washer too and you should be good Quote 1999 Audi A4 1.8T::: 4 - DC Level 3 10's in a 4th order Rockford P6002 on Subs for now (3-3.5k coming eventually) MB Quart ONX4.60 for Mids and Highs Boston S50 Components in Front Boston S65 Coaxials in Rear 40 Sq Ft of Second Skin Damplifier Build Thread UBL 1948 Plymouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
