[QUOTE="stones, post: 1389683, member: 540734"] So with the ground wire it goes from the back of the amp to anywhere metal on the ground of my car?Do I just tape it down with electrical tape? =Secure it with a bolt or screw to clean bare metal anywhere on the chassis of the car. How does that do anything relevant to helping out the amp? = All electronic devices need grounded, the electrons need to travel back to the negative on the battery in order to have a complete curcuit, your battery is connected to the vehicle chassis so connecting to the chassis will allow a path for the electrons to get back to the battery.. how does simply sticking the wires into the slots and then pressing the screws down onto them do anything dealing with connections if there isnt another side for the wires to touch? =The terminal block IS what the wires touch, that metal terminal is directly connected to the internal components of the amp. Do I strip the wire a little too before I stick it in? =Yes. [/QUOTE]
