97SSBlazer Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 a ground should never be longer than 3 ft.... So IF running all the way to the front battery is better, how much better is it really? That and 0awg isn't cheap. I have never seen anyone run a ground from front to back, I'm NOT saying if its better or worse im just curious... Quote lower tuning is just hard. I was surprised how loud 145 sounds at 35hz, and how quiet 145 sounds at 50hz. -= 2005 Tahoe LT =-Head unit: Pioneer AVH-X5500BHSSource: iPad Mini in dash Subs: 2 T1 12's Sub Amp: T1500-1bdCPWire: Rockford Fosgate 1/0 awgSignal Cable: MonsterFronts:Stock Bose for now:)Rears: Stock Bose for now:)MIds/High amp: Stock Bose for now:) 2005 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/172529-2005-tahoe-my-17th-vehicle/ 2001 Monte Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/160030-2001-monte-carlo-my-16th-car-lol/page-2#entry25309381997 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemead...oe-6-15-rf-15s/2001 Impala Build Log: http://www.stevemead...katzkin-inside/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at meades shit and anybody who has more than 3000 watts. And yes I wouldve done it anyway so im going to do it now.

kl0wn Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Doing a run of negative from front to back will give you a better connection than grounding the back to the frame. Like one other person said a ground should not be longer than 3 feet, well if the current only has to travel through a huge wire that is 10ft+, it will still be more efficient than traveling throughout the whole frame THEN to the wire. Bottom line is a direct connection is better than grounding to the frame, but if you do not have the $$ for the wire to do so, just go ahead and ground it to the frame, it still works.
