ImaNoob Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Is it ok to have a 5 to 8 ft ground ? basicly im trying to clean up my all wiring in the back of my truck. Shits all over the place and it looks like a rats nest. there would be like 4 to 5 ft of 4ofc( at The furthest amp) to a distro block to 3 ft of 0 ofc to frame.

truthsayer Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 The shorter the better. truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy95 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Shorter the better, but ive had them ~14ft before with no error. Just make sure the wire is overkill for the amplifier.

Sutliff Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Eh, ... I have always been shown/taught ... (& have bulit as such) ... that unless you are running your GND/NEG all the way from your front BATT with your POS runs, then your AMP GNDs should be 12-18" long, & really no longer ... even if they go into a distro box, & out from there to a chassis GND point. I do not think many folks are going to stand behind 5-foot-plus AMP GND lenghts ... No way you can ground AMP, or each AMP, separately to within 18" directly to the chassis of your vehicle? EDIT: Like the guys said above, ... & as was my point(s), ... the shorter the GNDs anywhere, the better.

hdorre Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I could, i was just trying not to punch another hole in the floor..If i have to i will though.. Where are you planning on installing? There might be a good bolt already in the truck.. I got lucky with my car. I used one of the factory bolt locations as an additional ground my rear battery.

mothra Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 ground distance means nothing. i regularly use a 3-6ft length for ground. good grounding point means the most. test every point you are considering using. if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
