thecityxignites Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 im trying to find a new spot to ground my amplifier. the previous ground didnt work out too well. the car is a 2001 cavalier, and i was wondering if anyone had any opinions on grounding to the rear seatbelt buckle bolt? if not, where would be a good place to ground? 2001 chevy cavalier Rebuild in progress what happens when your CD player skips and you accidentally drop a 22 hz sine bomb at an unholy volume on 7-8 year old subs? Mechanical failure floppy sub knockage on at least 2. well...as i see the level 6 is compared to a lamborghini.....but a corvette? i was thinking more like a chevy volt. its cute and new and "hip", but i would just rather stick my dick in a blender.........

01 S-10 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 the negative of ur battery. x2, I think on a uni-body car that's the best option. Just run the wire front to back. TDH FTW !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerman Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 the negative of ur battery. You need the shortest ground possible...so, unless you have a battery at the amp, I wouldn't recomend this unless its a last resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be the first resort, regardless if you have an extra battery in the back or just the front. Alot of people can vouch here with me for this. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/97154-voltage-differences-at-battery-and-at-amp/ Chevy Impala Shocker Sigs / TC Sounds 12s Sundown NS-1 | SAX 100.4 Sundown Neos | Dayton Audio Neos ETCCC ETCCC ETCCC My YouTube ---- Subcribe!!

Lumpydonut Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 My lancer is unibody and I sanded down right by the seatbelt then used a self tapper and have no issues. I don't see why the seatbelt bolt would be any different just as long as it gets a good connection. 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Pioneer DEH5100-UB 2 - P1S412 4 - Alpine SRS-600 Alpine MRP-M500 Monster 8g power/ground-1/0 Big 3 Soon to come: 2 - T1D212 RF T1500.1bdCP RF T500.4bd Mechman 220 amp alt Kinetik KHC1800 Hit me up if you need help with anything in the Tulsa Area.

You need the shortest ground possible...so, unless you have a battery at the amp, I wouldn't recomend this unless its a last resort. Also dont believe this. Thats like saying you need to have the power wire as short as possible.. Hate to break it to you, but grounding thru the vehicles chassis or even the vehicles frame has more resistance then running a ground wire (the same size as your power wire) from your front battery to your amplifier. Grounding to front battery for sure in all cases is the best, even if you have rear batteries! And Im loling my ass off at the guy that said self tappers.... HAHAHAAHAHA Use a nut and bolt son......

Rebel4055 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Self tappers are a no no. Grounding to the seat belt is a no no. If you have a unibody car ground to the strut tower or just run a ground line from up front. Rest In Peace mother.
