[QUOTE="jrwalte, post: 4649682, member: 584454"] The ground is your problem. The ground has to be at least the same size as the power - never smaller. You're also supposed to sand any metal surface. It usually has paint/rust protectant on it and you need to get to the bare metal. You're probably actually grounding through the bolt that screws into the metal and not the metal itself. Also look at how that metal at the seat is attached to the main metal frame of your car. It may not be the main frame, but a metal bracket that then bolts to the frame. You want to select a bolt that's on that frame. It's easy to notice. Just find the large piece of metal that is covering the entire floor/trunk of your car. The big three is upgrading the main power/ground wires under your hood to get less resistance in your electrical system and increase current throughput (Almost like doing a mini upgrade on an alternator but it only costs you wire). It's usually done in 1/0 gauge wire, but you'd be fine doing it in 4 gauge. You can search big three here to figure out exactly what to do. I believe it's even a sticky thread in this forum.
