k58.cross Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 How necessary is it to add to the wire going from engine block to chassis? I'mhaving trouble finding mine, not to mention actually running an extra wire there. I have done the following though: Extra wire from alt+ to battery+. Extra wire from battery- to chassis. Ran a wire from alternator case to battery-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Run it how you have it. It should be fine that way.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Alt case to battery is an engine ground....

I figured it would serve the same purpose, I was just concerned about creating a ground loop by introducing a new parallel path. I suppose since the wire's resistance is negligible, it shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonsyph Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 I was wondering this also the other day, thanks for the information. Been told alt case to -neg on bat is better than using chasse ground. Would running a wire straight from the alternator terminal to the amp be a bad idea lol? Or stick with alt to front bat, front bat to back bat, back bat to amp? ♦ Sundown NSV4 18" + Sundown SALT-4 Baby ♦ MechMan Elite 370a + XS3100 - XP3000 ♦ SHCA 1/0 OFC(blue) + SMD Fuse Holders(blue) ♦ Pioneer AVH-2440NEX + SHCA Pro RCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
