[QUOTE="garrettpf, post: 4972081, member: 575445"] The thread may be right. I never really checked voltage drop either way and have always ground to bare metal, either being directly to a frame rail or as in my car to the solid seatbelt mount. I guess there could be a small possibilty of voltage drop since running bat to bat will give you a clean run but then again, your car is one big ground. My sig was from a thread where we got into a war on pretty much the same thing. I was trying to explain how expensive cables can produce better sound. But if there is a thread about voltage drop with direct link [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif[/IMG] as for resistance, electricty will always follow the short and most simple bath. And a ground from bat to bat my be the cleanest but may not be the quickest path. If you want total security, run it both ways. I always run a ground from my HU to the chassis, one to the bat and another to amps. This eliminates any chance of noise. Sh!t, there I go with 20 lines of bull[bleep] [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
