06RTCharger Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Did that clear anything up for u? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouWouldKnow Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Ya I never thought about the frame like a big conductor/wire and the video backed what you were saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06RTCharger Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Yah It made sense to me, and Tony Damore in the video kinna put the stamp on it for me. If ur still wondering about the whole copper vs aluminum part of the issue. Copper being the wire, aluminum as the chassis, copper easily wins by far when portions are equal. But when u have a way thicker portion of aluminum than copper, the larger aluminum becomes the better conductor than the smaller portion of copper.

SnowDrifter Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 1. Keeping your grounds short keeps the resistance down, reducing voltage drop across the circuit. It's not just ground, keep all you runs as short as is practical for your application 2. Excessively high resistance in a ground can cause something called a "ground loop" where you get excessive feedback played through your speakers 3. Electricity favors the path of least resistance. If your ground is a source of high resistance, current can seek an alternate path such as the ground through your RCA wires, blowing a fuse on your head unit. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
