[QUOTE="jlaine, post: 46918, member: 542392"] Sorry, but the battery is an arms length away, so explain why it would be better than: 1. Jumping off the battery to a connection to the chassis. 2. Running through the chassis to the other side of the vehicle. 3. Jumping off the chassis onto whatever pickup point you've isolated. 4. Running to the amp. OR.... Direct connect to the battery. Cleaning connections will not prevent future oxidation. Ask any EE, what they'd prefer. 7 feet of travel path with two resistant prone junctions, or 5 feet of travel path, with a direct connection. No brainer. The voltage drop across such a miniscule lead is pathetic and is going to be impossible to read under normal circumstances. (Read, proper gauge wire installed). In this case, CC did the wise thing. The vehicle chassis loses this battle, because the battery is in the back already. Sorry... [/QUOTE]
