Broke_Audio_Addict Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I do both. 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.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I give as many grounds as possible. I figure it's going to travel the path of least resistance anyways so I'll just give it a few routes and it's going to take the one it wants/needs.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Doesn't hurt to upgrade all the tiny ass factory grounds either.

Miguels Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 i got this info from snafu Now, think for a second about where your amps are grounded. Now, think about the return path between the amps and the alternator - what exactly does that look like? Simple - amp to chassis . . . chassis to battery negative . . . battery negative to engine block . . . engine block to cylinder head . . . cylinder head to alternator bracket . . . alternator bracket to alternator. Hey, aren't there gaskets between the cylinder head and block? Are those stock cables big enough? my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 And I seriously doubt anyone here has the knowledge or experience to attempt to argue otherwise with him.

alaskanzx5 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Nope wont argue. But that's why a alt case or mounting bolt to fram/chassis works. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

rockFord_Expedition Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 just because the frame is grounded dont mean its a direct ground. direct ground would be the negative post on the battery.. the frame can also have bushings that can interfere with the path.. if you wire to the frame then from that same bolt to the alt then its almost the same as wiring it direct to the battery. but this time it will have to go through 2 runs of wire and 4 terminals that can also have resistance and not counting a few extra feet to run down to the frame and back up to the alt. on my impala the run to the battery is actually 2 feet. . im not saying the frame is a bad ground.. if done properly it can be more than you need.. just stating that the direct path would be the battery terminal not the frame.. either way its done is the correct way. best direct path is battery to alternator not chassis to alternator. the frame is just a bridge for that path Battery negative is NOT ground. That's why it is called the negative terminal and not the ground.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Battery negative is the ground in your car.

Miguels Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 so the positive is not power? my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I think you are confusing earth ground like in your house with the "ground" on your vehicle.
