[QUOTE="metalheadjoe, post: 8783613, member: 581422"] You have lithium near the amp, so your situation is quite different from a lead acid battery under the hood. [USER=685357]@ethik[/USER] I recommend adding a battery close to the amp or relocating your battery close to the amp. The biggest improvement to my electrical setup was adding a JY HP-40 near my amp. If you can afford it, I highly recommend that battery. I had a 320a alternator before I added the JY battery, but I'm curious if I would have needed the alternator if I had bought the battery first. You can get more for less money; I knowingly paid more for convenience. I agree with [USER=678073]@SlugButter[/USER] that your chassis is sufficient for a ground path. I'll add, though, that that is entirely dependent on how solid your ground points are. Make sure to sand down to shiny, bare metal before attaching your wire, and connect your wire in a way that won't get loose over time. If your vehicle has a frame that you can mount to, drill and tap the hole in it [insert mom joke]. Make sure all your junctions/splices are solid, and coat all exposed metal with dielectric grease to keep them solid. [/QUOTE]
