Airborne Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 frame is the chassis. Do you mean body? Weld a bolt to the frame (chassis) and bolt the cable to it. The body is a bad place to ground... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmedina Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Doing the big3 will help to prevent voltage drop. So will taking out thag cap you have. I say get rid of it and hook up another batt in the back. You'll notice the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 You're new, so I'll give you some slack and not bust your balls too hard. -Use spell-check please -Create a build log in the member builds section -Create a photobucket account to upload all your pictures to -Take lots of pictures of all the work you do because we are picture whores here -Use the advice people here give you: many have had experience with brands and it is best to absorb their knowledge and experiences to improve the quality of your build as well as save you money in the long run. -If you choose to ignore everyone, the $20 you save now will end up likely costing you an extra $300+ later down the road. When you are having problems with something with your system, many people are going to want to know what you have and what you have done as far as equipment and installation, which is why it is good to have pictures of everything so we can all help you out as best as possible.Since you are new, I will also mention that the only proper and safe way for you to set your gains on amplifiers is either with a SMD-DD1 or an oscilloscope. A DMM is not an acceptable way. Welcome to the forum and have a good time. Quote UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body is a bad place to ground... Dats why im askin, because people tell me diffrent stuff lol if the vehicle has a frame ground to it. It has a lot of area for the current to flow over. Body panels are at best a last resort. If I am wiring a uni-body I ground to the battery to ensure a more free flowing current. Modern cars use a few spot welds and shitloads of seam sealer. If you have a welder do the bolt welded to the frame trick. We have been doing that for decades with hydraulics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
