Thewes Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 is it ok to ground the amplifier directly to the battery? Depends how long your total ground length is, really not recommended since the battery its self probably has a couple feet of ground to it.
Guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 if you have a battery in the trunk, sure. but make sure that battery is grounded to the frame...or just ground the amp to a piece of bare (or sanded off paint) metal
