[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 4457118, member: 550915"] Running the power and the ground side by side from the battery is perfectly OK. No chance for noise from that. Can't say the same using a chassis ground. Grounding to the battery give you a known good ground every time. The resistance of a run of copper wire of sufficient gauge to handle the current draw of the amp is going to have negligible resistance. So low in fact that a normal DMM won't be able to measure it.
