Saltine Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 might as well jump on the dickrider bandwagon and waste 60 foot on 0 guage wire and run 3 runs from you battery to the back cuz you seen meade do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil4u2c Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) dude chill, but back atcha name one thing that is grounded to thin ass sheet metal that pulls 200 amps......just sayin also its not bad depending on how much power you are running.

Maxim Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Lol, calm down Saltine. Somebody's up past their bedtime. To the OP, I've seen lots of peeps on here suggest not grounding to the seatbelt bolt, but I've never really seen any specific reason why it's bad other than that it's a "weak" ground spot. Never tested it myself, so I'm not gonna say anything on that. However, @ Saltine, the factory grounds all over the car because it's cheaper. They're not wiring up a 1000+ watt stereo so they don't need those runs of 0-gauge from the battery to the back. If you're not willing to drop the money to wire up your car with thicker wires then what makes you think the people who sold you the car are gonna spend the money to do it? They don't need 0-gauge wires to ground the in-dash lights and the overhead light, nor do they need to ground to the battery for such negligible amounts of power. However, when you're pulling lots of power, you should look for the best grounds you can, which in most scenarios are the battery and the chassis. These areas will be able to transfer more current than sheet metal will. Quote wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saltine Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 and yes, the battery or the frame is best but all the DICKRIDERS say you should never ground there and its absolute bullshit, and now its not past my bedtime but i am drunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I think the only difference is "suitable ground" vs "Best ground possible" they are both going to work... there is a local shop around here that actually does all his grounds to the seat frame not even a seat belt bolt. He has been in business over 30 years and told me he has never had a problem with it. I personalty went directly to the frame but that was only because my vehicle had an access hole that went right to the frame.

Maxim Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 i am drunk DING DING DING!!! There's the elusive reason for the ranting and name-calling. Hop in bed my man.

skittlesRgood Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) ive heard a lot of people say the seat belt is a good place to ground. only argument against it i have heard is that it might be unsafe because... well... your loosening the bolt to a safety device lol. i think we should be worried about saltine thinking so much about riding a dick when he gets drunk.

AKBass Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) its not a bad place to ground, and if anyone disagrees FUCK YOU YOU DICK RIDING BiTCHES. anyway someone at one time may have tried to ground there on a car and encountered countless problems from HUMAN ERROR. its no different from any other ground in the car and actually all seatbelt points are thicker than the frame so they dont pull through the thin ass sheet metal. if you cant ground to the seatbelt then you might as well unhook every ground under the dash thats in the thin sheet metal cuz its bad too. JUST A BUNCH OF BAD INFORMATION really is your stereo system that smart that it can tell the difference between a frame and the body, I DIDNT THINK SO Holy smokes-simmer down crok pot I agree with everone to an extent I wouldnt want say a battery or a 3k amp grounded to a seatbelt bolt.... duh but for a smaller system it works just fine.
