Lvlpharaoh Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 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?

Bassin865 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 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.😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 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.

Lvlpharaoh Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 @Bassin865 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassin865 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lvlpharaoh Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 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. Side note: My setup in 2000 Chevy Malibu Pioneer Deh-S5100BT (Custom fit) Nvx Vsp65 (The reason why I went to said installer was just to cut holes in doors) Nvx Nsp69 (Rear Deck only for backseat passenger's) Nvx 0 Gauge Big 3 Dual Xpe4700 4 Channel amp (Nvx 8 Gauge kit, Nvx Rca's) Nvx 750w Rms Mono amp (Nvx 4 Gauge kit) Dual Ported 12' Pioneer Champions Pro's Stock Alt (Contacted Mike Singer but then decided to wait until I get another reliable car) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
