MistaDarklord Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hello SMD Forums, I'm encountering quite a dilemma when it comes to try to turn on my new amps for my build. I figured out pretty much anywhere I try and make a grounding point it ends up being a dud. The places I've tried is some where near the rear deck, near the Fuel pump on the floor, and also small holes near the jack, and I've even tried a solid piece of steel with a 3/8" hole and it still does not work. I've also tried using the bolts already there and nothing.With trying these areas, I've sanded them down and used steel washers/nuts/bolts to try to get this sucker to work. When I look at the multimeter it reads at about 5.7 ohms or 5.6 ohms no matter where I put it in the trunk.So I'm really at a loss of what is going on. I'm about to take it to a car audio "professional" to see if they can make some magical genie stuff happen to get it to work. I would rather not run 2 grounds back to the battery just to have my stuff work.Please, I'm desperate. LolThanks for the read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbass98 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Well if this is the case I dont think it is a grounding problem Edit: do you have a good ground from the battery to the frame 06 monte carlo 2 12 rockford p3s soundstream rubicon 2500 crescendo audio mezzo 6.5 ct sounds 125.4 execution audio and shca wiring 2 xs d3400 on stock alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Large Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Do the amps turn on at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistaDarklord Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Amps do not turn on at all. Did the big 3. Everything else seems to work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbass98 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 There must be something else causing this because the first time i grounded an amp i hooked it up to the trunk lid and it still worked (I've learned since then). Take a dmm and see if you are getting 12 on the power wire 06 monte carlo 2 12 rockford p3s soundstream rubicon 2500 crescendo audio mezzo 6.5 ct sounds 125.4 execution audio and shca wiring 2 xs d3400 on stock alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
