[QUOTE="Brit rider, post: 726261, member: 555567"] Ok firstly, i just want to say i nearly finished reading BCAE1.com and WOW, if any of you haven't already used this resource do, best thing i ever read. there is however one thing i don't understand. Is this statement correct? when an amp is connected up you have two power wires. a ground and a positive. the electrons flow into the amp through the ground wire? this confused me as this means that the power is actually coming from your chassis? i.e battery is connected to that and your ground for the amp is connected to the chassis..... what i was thinking was, theoretically shouldn't you get better performance (via lower resistance) if you simply hooked a wire from the neg post of your battery straight to the ground terminal on your amp? or am i wrong/confused. or do people do this anyway? sorry if this is a dumb question... i truly am a newbie at this [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif[/IMG] Cheers, Brit.
