stuffdog3 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 ok. I ready to run my power and ground wires for my system. I'm my 2003 Silverado SS I'm running a DC power 270xp. I using Knu Kolossis thru out the wip. Amps will be DC 5k maybe 2. Subs either 2 SSA Zcons or 2 DC XL 15s. I've been reading a lot on electrical and its pretty much a consensus that running grounds from front to back is the best way to ground a system. Ok I'm with that. But I never really could grasp how this is done. I'm not an electrical expert at all so this might be simple, and just over my head. I'm thinking 2 or 3 runs would be sufficient. This might be overkill for my small charging system. Oh and I'm running 2 XS power d3400's under the hood and 2 or 3 d3100 in the bed. 2 at 1st and 3 if voltage drops. Need help devising the best and most efficient way to go about creating a charging system. Also in the future I will be getting a dual alt bracket and another DC power 270xp. Thanks in advanced for the comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrzechNJ Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 u connect grounding wires the same way u connect positive wires.. it just goes from " - " to " - " u can/should ground the batteries in the back to the frame.. and I dont think u be able to handle the voltage with 1 270 amp on 2 5Ks....
