Ground Length


Recommended Posts

Posted

Noob question! Anyways whats the longest a ground wire should/can be, because my amp is getting warm quick. Would the ground length be the problem because its all wired right and everything, but the ground is about 20" long... i know very long, I have to find a better/closer spot. Thanks guys.

Twenty inches isn't all that long, I'd say that your amp getting warm has to do with something else. What are you grounded to?

A screw in my trunk. Should i sand it down a little better because i can see paint where I have it screwed down?

No you don't need to sand it down, I would ground to a bolt though, not a screw. Something like a seat belt bolt would work.

Its better to make your own ground with a self tapping screw to chassis and always bare metal.

Hope that helps
