Grounding your amp question.


Recommended Posts

Posted

Simple question for somebody that knows about electrical more than I do.

- ok I lf I have my battery bank close to my amp, is it better I run a ground to my negative terminal on battery to my amp? Or leave it the way I have it, - a 10" piece from amp term. to the frame of truck ?

If your battery is close to your amp, you could just run your ground to the negative of the battery.

If you will go to the ce autio electric supply section I believe, Snafu and Tony DAmore did a lot of testing on which one was better. Great write up by those two.

If it's easy to do I would try each way and see which way actually holds better voltage.

Do both.

EDIT: Read it wrong. Ground to battery, with the battery grounded to the frame. If the battery is close to the amp, there won't be much difference between grounding to the battery or the frame.
