Bakerman Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 So the body ground or strut will be perfectly fine for you, as I said in the first place. Not trying to say I know everything because I sure don't, but all the people on here that say they have 20k and do 150 whatever, obviously you're not giving him info relative to his needs so why even chime in with insults and what nots anyways? Not everyone is shooting for beast ground pounding systems, so obviously what you did may be right for you, but not everyone. So very true. But on the strut, I've had bad experiences. I was catching alot of feedback through mine when I had a ground there. But like you said, and i said, what works for me, might not work for you...vice versa. To the OP, when you post an open question like this, you get multiple options and opinions. Best thing to do, is pic the most suggested, try a couple, and see what works best for you. No one knows everything, and no one has tried everything. Its called trial and error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecityxignites Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Alright, so, there's many different ways to ground, as I just found out. Being that I'm only going to run an aq1200d, I think I'll be fine grounding to the strut tower, agreed? 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?

audiofanaticz Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 where the fuck do you think your battery gets its ground from? Some interesting info in here 3. Every ground in your car goes back to the - of the battery (technically it comes FROM the - of the battery, but that is a whole different topic) I find it interesting that one team dbs member claims that the battery gets the ground from the vehicle, and another member says that the vehicle gets the ground from the battery.

The battery is a ground on its own, and so is the vehicle. They can support a ground all own its own...both right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammitch0 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Ive ran 3kwrms through the bolt on the seat with a 200a alternator and a crappy batcap and sustained 14v. You guys are elitists, as long as its a shaved good ground its perfect who cares if you get .05v higher and its atiny bit less resistance, I dont want to run 40ft of 0/1 through my car for that. I'd rather run a 4ft wire to my seat bolt with the SAME outcome instead of wasting time and money and getting frustrated running tons of huge wire. Im running 2kw right now off my seat bolt and I didnt even shave the ground and it runs perfectly fine.

MrSkippyJ Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 The battery is a ground on its own, and so is the vehicle. They can support a ground all own its own...both right. The term ground is kinda not correct. IIRC the car is actually a groundless system. The circuit flows from - to + The - terminal of the battery is the starting point of the car's entire electrical circuit. (ps-this ignores the alternator part of the equation.)

I'm being basic here man...I'm pointing out that a vehicle frame does not need to be connected to a battery to become a negative. Go unhook your negative post on your car...take a test light, touch it to the pos side of your bat, then to a bare metal on your car. Light still comes on, with no battery grounding the vehicle.
