grounding sides

i heard somewhere you should have your ground on one side of the trunk, and another wire on the other to reduce interference between the two.....

what other wire is this, and is this true?

"sorry." does that mean you dont know, or im wrong?

i need this answered please for maximum clean install and power effieciency

i have never heard of this practice. but if the ground is SOLID there shouldn't be any need for this. personally i run the ground up to the - term. on the batt. that is where it has to go any way. i have found doing this reduces the chances of noise in the system.

but what ever works for you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

hm, im not sure either but i think you have it mixed up. i know that your power wire should be on the opposite site of the rca and rem connections because of interference, if this is true, then i presume that it would be the power wire.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

and your ground should only be max 18" or so....the shorter the better...good luck

Well if you really wanted to know--- Neither power or grounds cause noise in a system. Unless your refering to a ground loop which is never really seen. Noise comes from processors and H/U leaking it in through their power wires into the signal side OR HIGH IMPEDANCE in RCA making them act as a anntenna rather then a signal patch
