[QUOTE="mklett33, post: 7903636, member: 604057"] I only read half this thread but hear is what I think you need to do: Find a nice solid mounting location for that ground. If you have a Digital Multi Meter put it in (OHM) mode, which means resistance. Put the positive terminal on your power wire and the negative on your ground location. If you get a very low reading your connection is fine. If not test spots on the floor until you find a good location. If you do choose to run a wire back to the battery you need 4 gauge wire. You are traveling pretty far in that case so make up for the wire resistance by using a larger wire. And for the love of god, please please please put a fuse on it, close to the battery, so you dont burn your car down.. [/QUOTE]
