[QUOTE="fly_marlin, post: 8277986, member: 660781"] I'm not trying to knock on anyone, but when it comes to wiring, even though there are many ways to do it - they all share the things that must be done. I'm not sure what "you can skip the ground" means exactly, but this should never be done. Grounding each amp is absolutely critical. The ground wire should be as short as possible to a metal surface in the car, preferably not painted (you can scrape off the paint). Ideally, you should not have amps share the same ground. I agree with negolien on the alternator though - install the stuff and if you don't have enough juice for the equipment, consider a new alt. [/QUOTE]
