[QUOTE="MrAcd, post: 8400805, member: 664025"] Did some early morning test, found that with a DMM i got a 9 ohm reading from my seat belt ground ring terminal to the negative on the battery, to compare it. That wire i made running from the alt to the frame had a .1 ohm reading and from the alt to the battery (no wire here, only measuring to compare) i got around a 1.2 ohm reading. I understand that the Big three is not going to give me more voltage output but rather clear up some of the voltage drops. I keep reading some people say the seat belt bolt is fine others say they are horrible. With a 9 ohm reading from the ground wire terminal on the seat belt bolt, to the battery is it safe to say i need a better ground? I make sure im not clipping, again i use soundqubed's bass knob with a clipping indicator. Granted i dont know if it is totally right or not. I tuned with a DMM. my gain on the amp is maybe at like 25-30% if i remember correctly, give or take. I left all stock wiring, i only added wire [/QUOTE]
