newls1 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Running a ground from front to back creates a consistent and guaranteed path with minimal impedance. The extra grounds to his chassis are a back up and an extra flow path. Nothing wrong with a little overkill. BAM.....THERE IT IS!

Team-Atomic-Andrew Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I don't have to read up on it I work with electricity for a living and have to ground things by NEC code daily and I am a professional at what I do. It may not be car audio but electricity laws stand firm when it comes to resistance. Just because "lots of pros do it" does not make it the best way. the reason "pros" do it is because they copper wire used is less resistance than the steel frame of the car, usually the wire run is 1/0 or bigger and OFC not CCA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team-Atomic-Andrew Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 true, but when i ran my ground to the back i ran it to the battery, and the battery is connected to the alt, so in theory the entire power system is connected with copper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be car audio but electricity laws stand firm when it comes to resistance. Just because "lots of pros do it" does not make it the best way.Everything should be bonded to the same grounding source but with car audio your grounding source is either your chassis or your frame, the frame being the better of the 2. So if you have equipment bonded in the front to the chassis or frame and in turn bond equipment in the back to the same source, you want that wire to be as short as possible to the same source, to keep electrons that are always trying to return to the "source" from having less resistance from point A to point B . In car audio you can do that without running it all the way to the front.Read up on it. BAM THERE IT IS Im glad your a pro, read up on car audio.......

tacomabanga1986 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 to op, i got my stinger sp800 battery hooked up just like you did urs, it will work fine like it is now but when u upgrade whenever to anything more than around 2000-3000w its best to do a ground from front battery to back battery and a ground from front alt bracket to battery neg also, im going to do one sometime just for the hell of it my stock alt is only 70amps or so and i try to do the best i can with it and residential and commercial wireing is different from car audio there grounds have to go to earth to complete the "circuit", but in car electrical the power acually flows from neg to pos rather than pos to neg, thats why they always say to keep grounds as short as possable heres a vid of what im talking about, a battery works both ways were home and commercial electricity works one way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TriS8_X6cTc Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
