[QUOTE="DidUHearThat?, post: 4689805, member: 594758"] I think the idea is that in extremely large/high current systems the ground might not provide enough current in certain locations, especially on certain cars. If a particular fender was only rivited in 2-3 locations with small contacts it is possible they could not provide enough current capacity for a very large current system. I think this is very unlikely in most systems, on most vehicles, and in most locations. If your trying to power a few 10,000 watt amps with three 350 amp alternators and a dozen batteries in a plastic sports car, then running extra ground wires is cheap insurance. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. The floor pan on most cars is good for several hundred to a thousand amps at least. [/QUOTE]
