[QUOTE="Boomin_tahoe, post: 8603884, member: 562180"] Alright I see a few issues with that ground. 1st that bottom wire has exposed strands and see no cover/heat shrink tube over it exactly like your Kicker wire has. Thus will prevent arc's or sudden shorts if it gets exposed to metals, elements in the air, water, moisture, etc. The other issue is that looks like it's on primered paint. Bare metal to bare metal is what you want to achieve. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/DijMr5c.jpg[/IMG] Here is a pic of my s10 amp's grounding point. Noticed I sanded/grinded the entire area not just a few scratches for the wire. I used a bolt/nut combo. [/QUOTE]
