[QUOTE="SPL Blazer, post: 4287170, member: 587873"] Why is it that people always recommend a "short" ground, or keep the ground as close as possible to the amp, why is this? I've run grounds around 12" from the amp, 3 feet from the amp and 15 feet from the amp and it's never made a bit of difference. As long as your ground is the same gauge as the power wire and has a solid contact with the body or battery terminal I can't see how it's going to make any difference. Anyone got a real answer to this, and not just a noob guess? [/QUOTE]
