So clever. Bonus points for originality //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/goldcup.gif.fed6f294523aaacf5ee40f0193e776f8.gif

I was like.... wtf mom....

Typical, you figure out you're wrong and start spouting insults //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I'm not wrong you just don't understand my post.. I dislike continuing arguments that are pointless.

I've seen enough of his posts to know he's more than wrong. He's stupid and he gives stupid advice and anybody that takes his advice is fucced.

 
For every ground you steal off the engine, you have to add one from the engine to the frame.

Your engine is not in itself a grounding point, your basically using it as a terminal block if going to engine then to frame.

For a separated alternator the best way is this;

Alternator is bolted to engine, that's a ground, now add a ground from engine block to frame to account for that. You can ground your battery bank to the frame in the rear, or run yours grounds all the way to the front. Keep in mind, if you run 2 x runs from back bank to your engine, that is another 2 runs you have to go from engine block to frame.

I think everyone in here is talking around each other and is getting confused.

I like one big central grounding location in the rear for the bank. Do big 3 up front. That's my preference.

**** this thread has turned into a slug fest lol.

So after looking over my trunk I found two rear tail light studs as you can see in the photo. The area around these points have none of that goopy looking stuff that you see everywhere else.



What ya guys think? I can simply sand down the area around the studs and take one of the bolts off, put the ground ring terminal there and put the bolt back?

How much more direct to the body can one get. The location is not that far from the amp either.

Thoughts?

Thanks
