Where to ground amp in trunk


Recommended Posts

I have both my amp grounds connected to a strut bolt that holds the trunk lid

I had went to car audio installer recently and he told me 

that I should ground my amps to the base of my car trunk

For the longest I've had my amps setup that way and never notice problem

is it okay to keep it that way or should I ground elsewhere?

So why exactly would you not take the advice of someone that laid eyes on your setup, that does installation? Yet take the advice of a random person on the internet that didn’t see anything. Just thought I should point that out. Maybe this will help.😉

Not hard to listen to the dude, since the OP has ZERO problems, running the gear for a long time. Why fuck with it. Not to mention, but when it comes to my rig, and audio, i wouldnt listen to a "shop" guy, that "does installs", no matter what he said. Glady tell him to go fuck himself.

That was my initial thought when reading it but seeing that nobody else replied to testify against it or even answer my question had lead me to believe that there's probably nothing wrong with my setup... I did try searching the forums for a answer or even an explanation but the only thing i'm getting is that it needs to be bare metal touching bare metal.

I'll try posting a pic

Looks like it’s grounded to the trunk hinge?

based on the deadner and your wiring I’d say you have some decent stuff. I’d move it to something that is closer connected to the main chassis of the vehicle. And yes bare metal is better.  Just my 2 pennies.

That's the video I watched explaining what counts as a ground thanks for re-posting... Also it may not look like it but I used the a circular wire brush to remove the paint from both the base and the screw before making the connection.
