bumpinTL364 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Okay, can anyone tell me why the hell amp install kits are cheaper than buying everything separately (a great advantage for the customer) yet never have the 18ft. of neg wire...seriously, what the hell?! I understand you'd want a length to ground everything, but my amp needs to connect to both battery leads in order for it to work. /stupid masterbation is free, and even saves you money.sorry but someone had to say itsorry, Jimmy...beat you to it (no pun intended) LOLDON'T get a wife. Best advice I never got, and now it's too late My build: 12" DCON in a dorm room. New/current build: 8" woofer, custom amplifier block, fiberglassed speaker pods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillaCam Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Ground in the back to the frame. There's no reason to have a ground run to the front battery. And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..

SnowDrifter Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 What are you grounding to that you need 18ft of negative? Just ground to the shock tower or frame.

truthsayer Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Amp sets are cheaper because it's a bundled price. So you sort of answered your own question. And like every one has said, i cant think of any situation you would need a long negative cable. truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EP95 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 if anything you'd want the shortest ground possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumpinTL364 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 So now it sounds like I actually may be mentally handicapped....positive terminal of the amp goes to the battery, negative terminal just connects to anywhere you want to ground it? masterbation is free, and even saves you money.sorry but someone had to say itsorry, Jimmy...beat you to it (no pun intended) LOLDON'T get a wife.
