[QUOTE="donpisto, post: 5553176, member: 568577"] Old post, I know, but to help newbies it is HIGHLY vehicle dependent. Some vehicles are fine by running a ground somewhere in the trunk, it's hard to tell what would be best, whether from the trunk or the negative battery terminal under the hood. Only way to tell is to measure voltage drop at each location. Reason why it is vehicle dependent is because there may be paint, plastic parts and whatnot that are attached directly to the chassis. In some vehicles, that is not the case, in which it would be wiser to run the ground in the trunk since you save money by not having to buy 13+ ft of wire. [/QUOTE]
