bigbodylexus Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 Is there an advantage/disadvantage to running a ground from the battery under the hood to the extra battery or should I just use the old tried and true "ground it to the chassis"? 1990 Chevy Suburban (Big Booty Judy) (4) Sundown Audio Zv5 18's (1) Sundown Audio Salt 12K (1) Sundown Audio SAX-100.4 (1) Sundown Audio SAE-50.4 (2) Crossfire ST-1 Tweeters (2) Obsidian Audio ST-1 tweeters (4) Sundown Audio Neo Pro v3 6.5's Saving 2nd Bass

I've read that if you have a Unibody its better to run a ground, but if you have a vehicle with an actually frame that runs the full length, then you can ground to the frame. Just make sure you ground right to the frame, not a body panel. 97 Maxima SE Bunch of shit going in, check out the build Build Log
bigbodylexus Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Posted March 8, 2010 It's a Toyota Camry, It's hard to find a good ground in the trunk, I am switching to Sundown Audio Amps and I've heard they can be picky about the ground. I was just going to run some 1/0 ga. wire from the battery to the battery and to the amp but I really didn't know if it would be better to ground it to the chassis of the car. 1990 Chevy Suburban (Big Booty Judy) (4) Sundown Audio Zv5 18's (1) Sundown Audio Salt 12K (1) Sundown Audio SAX-100.4 (1) Sundown Audio SAE-50.4 (2) Crossfire ST-1 Tweeters (2) Obsidian Audio ST-1 tweeters (4) Sundown Audio Neo Pro v3 6.5's Saving 2nd Bass
