RooTxBeeR Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 I'll see if I can find a deal on a XS battery if not then I'll just order a distribution block from Kevin. I have about 25' of SHCA 1/0 ofc left over bc I just bought 50' of it so I have the wire to run. Now I just need to find where to ground to the frame in the front. Best spot to ground, a piece of a bare metal that is attached to the frame.

He doesn't have a frame and thats the same with all new cars. Unibody. 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.
BigManAC Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Posted May 27, 2015 Alight I'll look at the strut tower tomorrow. Now when checking the impedance with the DMM what is a tollorable reading. Would say half an ohm be a good or do you always want it at 0? 2001 Saturn L200-Sony MEX-BT4100PFRONT STAGE:- (4) Crescendo PWX 6- Cadence XA250.2SUB STAGE:-Fi Audio BL 15 (Sealed Off)-Crescendo BC2kELECTRICAL:- Singer 240A alt - XS Power D3400- SkyHigh OFC power/speaker wire- Big 3 with SkyHigh 0gaugeBuild Log: Click HereScores: 146.5db @ 29hz Outlaw

reedal Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 Half ohm is ok, but zero is best. But that half ohm could be your leads too, unless you already checked the resistance through them and subtracted it SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32
Lbox88 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 ^Yeah that, especially if you're using something to extend one of your leads all the way up to the front battery negative. Also make sure your probes are sharp and you're getting through any paint or rust and making good contact. UBL | Build Log

BigManAC Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Posted May 28, 2015 I spent a while under the hood/car today and think I figured some things out. I looked at the shock tower but the only bolt was on the top and it wasn't a good ground at all. However I did find a part of the unibody that runs front to back so I'll be grounding the front battery to that. I'm still doing two runs of 1/0 to the back and grounding the amps to that. I will be ordering a new set of battery terminals and once that gets here everything will be done.
