Running 5K? What's your electrical like?


Recommended Posts

I read an SQ post on another forum concerning grounding.  That was one of the things mentioned that could introduce noise, but in practice, I dont know if it really matters.  Results may vary, I guess.  Haha

Directly back to battery ground.  Battery ground is the truest ground.  Its the voltage source.

You mean back to the negative terminal on the front battery? Or directly to one of the grounds on the block or chassis I have running from the negative post?

If you're concerned about noise, back to the battery terminal.  But depending on your vehicle, you may not have any noticeable noise so chassis grounding may be great, which is in line with what strangeduck was saying.

Gotcha. Thanks for taking time out to point the way.

Alphablazer is a good example of a rig that has all the grounds ran thru the frame rail.  Check out their build log.

+163dB rig and I dont think he has problems.  But thats not SQ either.  And neither is a 5k. Haha
