[QUOTE="Sierra Nate, post: 8709848, member: 673019"] The ground IS a 12 volt line. Same rules apply to positive and negative lines. But remember that the ground doesn't need to go all the way to the battery (although if you can, that would be best...just marginally better). So if you only use 1 foot of negative wire it will not lose as much as your longer positive that gores all the way to the battery. Ground it to the chassis...can be an existing bolt that bolts your seat to the chassis...or you can use a self tapping screw to place the ground right next to the amp. There's a good sticky thread on grounds...read that. [/QUOTE]
