Gold Member Username: Freezeman_7C.FREE Post Number: 1449 Registered: May-06 | right, i can do that |
|
Gold Member Username: Adam_sPost Number: 1487 Registered: Aug-04 | I would run the wire to the back because it will allow for more current to flow. |
|
Gold Member Username: Freezeman_7C.FREE Post Number: 1450 Registered: May-06 | so steinke ur sayin go ahead and run the neg to neg from front to back> or jus ground the back battery on the chassis as well? |
|
Gold Member Username: Adam_sPost Number: 1489 Registered: Aug-04 | For the amount of power you are going to be running I would run a negative from front battery to the negative on back battery and ground your amps from there. |

Gold Member Username: JohnfiacA-ToWn, Kingkong ain... I got Chuck ... Post Number: 3201 Registered: Mar-06 | if he does the dedicated groun he might as well run the ground thats from engine block to chassis.. and make that from alt. to batt... JMO but i think that would work out a little better, and be easier to do. If your not using your chassis as the ground for your system there is no point in adding more grounds to it since the power wont be flowing through it |

Gold Member Username: Freezeman_7C.FREE Post Number: 1454 Registered: May-06 | thanks guys i thnk i got it, do i know have to ground the alt to the engine block tho?? cause i thought that was part of the big three |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 3306 Registered: Jul-06 | Just drill in the rear and run 0 gauge grounds to the chassis...I'm not sure why you'd want to run a negative all they way from the front.It all is going to ground to the chassis in the long run. |

Email Post Number: 3478 Registered: Nov-05 | i ran 3600rms on two batts.. both grounded the the chassis.. never had any voltage probs.. save the wire and run a second power wire.. don't need to run a complete ground from batt to batt.. if you start adding more in the trunk connect the ones back there |
|
Gold Member Username: Freezeman_7C.FREE Post Number: 1455 Registered: May-06 | OK so just ground the front and rear batteries to the chassis, and ground the memphis and the alpine to the rear battery? |
|
Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 3479 Registered: Nov-05 | i just used the same spot on the chassis in the trunk to ground everything |
|
Gold Member Username: Freezeman_7C.FREE Post Number: 1456 Registered: May-06 | ok, but the main thing is there is no need to do another run of negatives, i can jus ground everything to the chassis, and then ground the amps to the battery. |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 3310 Registered: Jul-06 | That will work but in the drawing you have a long negative coming from the front battery.You don't need that at all.You just need to ground to the chassis somewhere. |
|
Gold Member Username: Freezeman_7C.FREE Post Number: 1458 Registered: May-06 | alright, thats what im gonna do thanks alot guys, ive got alot better understanding of this now. |

Post Number: 3221 Registered: Mar-06 | if your not doing the dedicated groun then yes you need to upgrade the engine block\alt to the chassis, if you did the dedicated ground then that would have been pointless but since your not no more.. then yes do it. |
