Good Ground Location on Gen1?

Good Ground Location on Gen1?

Postby hari-bhari » Fri Feb 06, 2009 9:14 am

I need a good grounding location for the main ground wire for my amp. Right now it's on the right side vertical wall, about halfway back in the trunk. I screwed into an existing hole that was there. I obviously sanded the surface. But the metal seems like sort of a thin plate so I'm wondering if I'm not getting as good conductance as I could. Where else have y'all grounded?

There is a nice spot in the trunk on the right side towards the back seats as well where Toyota has grounded other things already, I used this and it has worked well so far.

I agree with Chewie. I grounded mine on the right side towards the back seat behind the carpeting. Great ground for me.

i persnally drilled a hole just below my amp in the floor of the trunk, that may my ground wire would be shorter, the longer the wire, the more electrical current resistance
