Recommended Posts

Posted

I've heard 2 different sides on what the best ground Is for your amps. one is as short of a wire possible to the frame of the car with the paint sanded away. the second is running a fat wire back To the negative of the battery. what is the best? most people i talk to run there ground to the seatbelt. i just want the best possible don't care how hard or much it cost, thanks for the help

Best way to find out is try both and see what works best for you, every situation is different.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

right now i have 1000w rms, i watched the video and was shocked! 14% wow! i have 2 more questions 1, if i have 2 amps with 4gage outs for the ground can i run them to a distribution block with 0gage out? ( 2 4g in one 0g out to the frame) or should i just have each amp its own ground? 2, what if you have a second battery in your trunk And you don't need a 15ft cable. would the volts still drop so low considering there's less resistance

If your amp is close to the battery and your battery is properly grounded then you should have no issues with a short ground to the batteries.
