Grounding Questions


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a jeep cherokee sport with a uni-body. Should all my grounds (front bat, alt, rear bat, rear amp) be bolted to the "FRAME" or the inner body. To make this more understandable for my front battery ground i just mounted right next to the stock ground just with 1/0 guage. Same with the rear batt i just riped a little carpet up and grounded. should i actually drill a hole and go to the frame or would that not be worth my time? Also my rear amp is grouned to my rear batt neg post.

Run a ground from the front battery to the rear. That would be best.

either one will work, if you want the best then do both, I made a 2.5 inch hole in my floor, not hard, and went right to the frame rail that goes to the front of my van, and I only loose .04 volts, thats really good, but if you have a second battery in the back it doesnt hurt to have a second run from the front battery to the back for the neg. It gives it a clear run back, thats whats important!

2.5 inch hole dam how many runs do you have through the floor? Ok so should i keep my ground that runs to the body now and just add another one to the frame, or remove the one now and just run it to the frame. I will also run the neg on front to the neg on back. One more quick question. Were would you guys run 2 runs of 0/1 guage to the back in a small as jeep. Under the carpet in the center or any better ideas?
