[QUOTE="SlugButter, post: 8783608, member: 678073"] You can ground directly to the chassis. Did they just run a single 0 gauge to your amplifier from the front battery? I would do a double run of OFC from the front battery to the rear battery, and a double run off the back battery to the amp. Same with grounds. You can also just buy 2/0 gauge wire and do a single run instead of using 2 runs of 1/0 gauge. I wouldn’t use CCA wire for that amp unless I was doing 4 runs of 0 gauge for it. You’re going to want a nice smooth flow of amperage all the way from the front battery through your wire to the amplifier and out the grounds into your chassis, so make sure the grounds are as solid as the power wire. It can’t be choked off anywhere along the line to get good power from the alternator continuously. [/QUOTE]
