[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 4621441, member: 541383"] when you ground anything it should be to the chassis in some fashion. just grounding to metal isnt a good ground in a unibody car. grounds and power wires ran (like through door jams LOL) are always one of the things i help fix for the kid's around here...that and trying too hook up legit 800++ watt amps with 10 ga wire. Here is a big hint if people around you who help do installs really know wtf they are doing 1. they run power wire from under the hood through a door jam or tell you its ok- don't listen to them 2. you have a 500 dollar+++ amp and they tell you to get a 15 dollar amp install kit with skinny wire--- 3 when they run wire in a car it should be AT LEAST semi neat and the power wire should be AWAY from the hot parts of the engine. 4. when you install an amp to a car (anything 200 watts or more) i would just do the big 3. I do not mean to be dumping on your thread but i just got done fixxing a couple systems here and all the above was what was wrong with both. Started off fixxing a buddies step daughters system that was installed by her BF then 2 days later she sent her BF here for me to fix his....LOL [/QUOTE]
