RMC66 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Posted September 28, 2015 Okay, so I've been getting my wires and everything all done... and realized I have a open 4g spot on my distribution block spot left from my amp grounds. Setup - Running one 4g, and two 8g negative returns into block with 0g back on a 5ft run back to the battery. Question - I could tie the alternator ground into this by running a very short 1 ft 4g wire, instead of the 4-5 foot i'm going around the other way, is this going to lead to any noise in my system, or issues? Plus it will just look really clean too. This is only on the grounding side, the ALT Power is straight to the battery. Thanks! EDIT, so what i mean is... should i 1.) run the ALT ground straight to the battery (longer run, wasted wire) , OR is it fine to connect it to my distro block grounds for all my amps coming back through the firewall and meeting up with the 0g to head back to the battery. basically, should it stay on it's dedicated line, OR can i mix it with all those amp grounds (that also go straight back to the battery.

reedal Posted September 28, 2015 Report Posted September 28, 2015 A shorter ground won't cause issues Edit for clarification: a shorter ALT TO BATT ground won't cause issues. Other grounds, shorter may not be better depending on the location of the ground 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

MotorCityFats13 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Posted September 28, 2015 you did pretty much what I did.... but I used a 2/0 wire lug off the battery and soldered 3 4awg wires into it and ran them to the locations needed... frame, body and alt.... I have no ill effects
