BassHead1990 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I currently have my amplifier grounded to the seat bracket but not sure where to move it to. I heard that you could ground your secondary battery from the main battery, but can I use this same concept to ground my amp. I can't find a good spot to ground my amp unless I drill a hole through my floor and ground to the bottom of the car. The car is a 92 Ford Mustang. I can hear the noise from the exhaust, I'm pretty sure its coming from that ground spot Quote (2007 Chevy Tahoe LT) Mechman 320A OEM AGM D'Amore Engineering HLC-2 Sig Converter D'Amore Engineering E1500.1 Fi Audio Neo 3.5 12" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerman Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Best ground is to the frame of the vehicle, or directly to a battery negative post if you can reach it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardboardcat15 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 The frame or batt is best, but sometimes are hard to get to. I've got mine on my rear strut. Quote My Channel on YouTube.

Rebel4055 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Yep ground to the rear strut tower or do a run from your front batt neg. Make sure to grind the paint off first if you do it to the tower. For the post above me, unibody cars have no frame. Edited January 12, 2011 by Rebel4055 Quote Rest In Peace mother.
