Chassis Grounds. You're doing it wrong. (+ Giveaway!!)

I fail.
So, my sneaky *** lifelong friend designed, patented and manufactured these all hush-hush. He gave me a sneak peek and some samples when they came in and this is my little review.

Also, at the end, I'll give you guys a chance to win some since I got a bunch of samples from him.

I, like a lot of you had a through-bolt for my chassis ground. Big, gangster self tapper with a very nice 2/0 copper lug. First, it was prone to backing out. Second (and worse) it left a gigantic flippin' hole in my trunk floor.

I tested the first sample in the CRX. He only had 4awg on hand, but it fit a piece of 2awg I had laying around. This was the first ground I had in the new CRX so I couldn't compare it to anything. But, I ran a SounDigital 5k through this ground.

Like I said, I did have a big 2/0 ground in the daily. I replaced it with a pair of these 4awg and I picked up another .2v. Bonus. They are also secure as ****. These things aren't going anywhere. And they are super clean looking comparatively. Even though I'm not great at making things all nice and neat. Lol.

Anyway (TL; DR) on to the pics. And please excuse my phone pics. I'll try to get some better ones...

So... introducing Earl's Audio grounds. Get used to seeing these, but this is the first time anywhere these have been posted.

(3) small self tappers and you're done. The small lines you see around the holes are for overlocking the screws to prevent them from backing out without the need for star or lock washers.

What's the big deal, you say? Surface area is everything. Here is one next to a regualr ol' ring terminal.

Another neat feature is that the barrel is scored to help prevent the wire itself from pulling out. These aren't just some crap that was thrown together. These actually have some thought and engineering into them.

Crimped on a piece of 2awg.

This is how it'll come. With self tappers and everything.

Well.. there you have it. I got a bunch of these to give away to you guys. So, if you want one, do this...

1) Go to their FaceBook and like them. FaceBook.com/EarlsAudio

2) Agreee to actually use it, take a pic of the install and write a small review.

3) Say something positive about the person who posted above you.

 
Interesting. But, you were complaining about leaving a large hole in your trunk.. how is 3 smaller holes any better? Lol

Really though, nice product. Should help a lot of people make nice, secure grounds.

Btw, taylorfade, I hear his nuts taste of skittles and raspberry cream donuts.

 
Yeah exactly..."Regular self tapping screws leave a hole in your trunk, so here, drill three holes instead!" lulz

Don't really expect these to boom but best of luck to you...

Lol. I knew I shold have gotten a pic of the carnage the other bolt left in my trunk. I'll take 3 small, secure ones over one big ugly one any day.

Edit: and since he's already been approached by two HUGE car audio companies about exclusive rights, I think you might be wrong on the "boom" part. but.. I have exactly zero stake in this comapny other than he's a friedn of mine and I agreed to do a review and giveout some samples. So, whatevs.

 
I'll get you a couple, bro but I'll be in Biloxi whipping some ass at Scrapin' this weekend.
When you leave out for Biloxi, I might take off work early near the end of the week and head out to BR... and If I was going on Vacation the 26th or so I'd head out to Biloxi and get my butt handed to me in the 0-600 stock class
