larrys95civic Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Ok, and Avery is correct about the ground, you want your ground to be as big as your power and the thin sheet metal it's grounded to isn't good. Also a tip for when you get your extra batteries I'd run 2 runs of 0 gauge power and 2 of ground from the front batt to the rear. Then you should probably do your big 3 soon. But back to the amp, any way you can take a video or pics of how everything is set up makes it a million times easier to trouble shoot.

Trey_Dog650 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 The floor pan is actually a good ground. No need to change it. Although once you do your big 3 and ground to the frame. You want to ground to the amps or rear batteries to the frame to make a complete path For 4k I do recommend getting the biggest alt you can find/afford. And upgraded front batt and rear batt. 13 Kia Forte Build! 07 Hyundai Accent Build ***Super Seller*** N8ball2013 And then he gets to say ok all you guys were right. im sorry for being a dummy poo poo head.
