[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8849448, member: 674149"] It's the same ground; its NOT the same PATH TO GROUND. Battery is not ground, and there is NO REASON to be grounding through your negative battery terminal. What you have done is now ground not only your vehicle but your entire stereo through your battery negative terminal. Your power wires are split from the positive terminal, and also has the added power from the alternator. You have then took all of that, and combined it to flow through the negative terminal. You have also added resistance making them that long. It might work, but you put more work and money in to a worse option, when you could have just grounded to chassis, (which is where ground is). Not sure where you came up with some panels are not ground because they are glued together with thin sheet metal, etc.... A unibody still has a structural frame with thicker metal. (You can usually see it where they tell you to jack up the vehicle there), it's not just in the engine bay. You also said you fused your grounds. You need to get rid of that. [/QUOTE]
