brewer_brewer Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 take a wire brush to the metal and make sure there is no paint where the terminal ring will go and make the ground as short as possible. anything over 12" is kinda long. other than that it'll work fine Quote REFS http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/itrader.php?u=2026 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/44535-official-brewer-brewer-feedback/page__p__625998__hl__brewer__fromsearch__1entry625998 "you're not allowing natural selection to work, you're like the guy that invented the seatbelt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer_spirll Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 i have did it like that for years and have never had a problem with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finkster Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) thats not the ideal place for a ground...remember you want to maximize contact between your terminal and some metal and theres not much surface area around seat belts...for smaller things id say ok but bigger amps no way...not to mention a ground can generate a lot of heat.
