[QUOTE="theo_jeep, post: 8741461, member: 682711"] I'm new to this! This might be a dumb question but I haven't found the answer to it. How do I ground my subwoofer? I bought an [URL='https://www.quadratec.com/products/14133_1001.htm']upgraded factory replacement[/URL] for my 2001 Jeep Wrangler, and it plugged into the same electrical that the Jeep came with. (It's just a small subwoofer that goes in the center console.) However, the subwoofer cuts out after playing bass-heavy music or if the volume is up loud enough. I did some preliminary research and it sounds like I should begin my troubleshooting by checking the ground connection. Can I just add an additional ground by connecting a ground wire from any metal on the subwoofer to a grounding point in my Jeep? It supposedly has a ground in the original wiring, but I don't know where that connects. Would it hurt anything to just add another ground wire? And if so, where do I connect it to on the subwoofer? (Or do I need a better ground on my stereo maybe?) I'd also gladly read any introductory material if you could point me toward that. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
