[QUOTE="clarity413, post: 492682, member: 554940"] I actually asked this question a while ago. Anyways, everyone's response was it didn't make a difference one way or another. There are some pros about directly connecting the amp to the battery though. There is less interference with the freqs... this only makes a difference with cb/ham type radios though. There isn't as much of a load put on the bat -> ground wire. This doesn't make too much of a difference unless you plan on running an insane amount of amps. Anyways, most of the electrical problems are because of low amp alternators. However, I just went ahead and spent the extra 10 bucks or whatever and ran a neg wire to my bat :-) I'm running 160amps through my two amps though. [/QUOTE]
