need help **ground wire** issue

[Bgfx 10+ year member]

So this could be my ocd but currently I have a ppi 900.4 and an aq1200 installed in my 2012 f150. I have them grounded to the body of my truck via a sanded down section on the inside of my cab. Okay I have no noise issues or whine I just want to ground my system the best way I can. I have 17ft of zero gauge and I could possibly run it underneath my truck and there is a grommet that I can use to feed it up into the cab. I would run it through the cab but there is no more room bc my 0 gauge power is taking up the door sill channel. So is it worth to the battery or frame and does anyone have experience running 2 zero gauge wires in an f150.

Since this is a truck which has a frame, ground to the frame, there is no better ground than the frame

when i had an f150. it was a 95. i just grounded it to the bolt that held the back seat down

I did the same at first but my amps were clipping pretty bad.

i would just bolt it to the ground. but make the wire as short as possible

I am looking at how to get a direct frame ground into the cab

with 17 ft. of 0 gauge. you could drill a big enough hole behind the back seat straight through the cab then ground it to the frame

Ground the battery to the frame, and then ground the amp to the frame. Done.

I was trying to avoid drilling through the cab I found a grommet under the door sill I could use to route the wire up from the frame to my amps.
