Without the battery, there is no electrical circuit in need of ground, so your post is pointless....
Also, lightning can and will kill you inside a car. Lightning has enough voltage (current potential) to arc-flash and ground through ions in the air. The thing that "helps" but doesn't always save you in a car is those big round rubber things that keep it from touching the earth.

Lern lectriceety kay?

Which is what I was saying. ****** clown. The kid was trying to say a car is a ground. As in, remove the battery and **** and you can still use the engine block as a ground. I have probably forgotten more about electricity than you can ever hope to know.

Bro, what do you think is making the power in your car? And where do you think it's grounded? And where do you think the batt is grounded?

^this just because its labeles negative doesnt mean its a ground in your battery if that makes sence. otherwise how would people series them ? you ground your battery to the frame then its a ground . also applies to people saying the only was to ground to your amp is to run from front to back . my grounds are right to the frame through the trunk and they arent 17' long //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Not sure if everyone in this thread is completely ******* retarded or if I'm just not explaining **** right. Doing this on my phone so its a ***** but... trust me, I guarantee I do more wiring in a week then 99.9% of people on this forum do in a year!

You are correct, most of a vehicle is grounded via cables/ground straps, I never said it wasn't. I said the best ground is right to the battery and that is a FACT, anyine who argues that is simply ignorant.

so your battery has a ground in it ? LOL dude if the shock tower and or frame is good enough to provide you batt with a ground than so is a ground in the back from frame to amp/batteries. no need to run front to back if you argue that your a ratard

Everyone put your e-peens away, shut the fuck up and stop coming at k_shutte, he got vet status. Battery is a fucking open circuit waiting for the car to complete it. Ground is really a misnomer in this context. Current gotta flow, that's all that matter. Now, go to bed.

I look at the BIG 3 like this "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link"

Yeah, my father has been in the electric utility industry for 35 years, I have been in it myself for 10. I learned stuff from him when I was barely old enough to talk.

I knew more than most "electrically educated" people when I was in elementary school and gave lots of reports and projects over it. I'm sure you've forgotten more than I know...

BTW, you want to be a tough guy and name drop over the internet, you might want to check the amount of person you are coming at.

Oh, I'm sorry. He joined before me, that must make him smarter than me on anything related to this subject...GTFO

Even then, the best grounding point is still the battery terminal. Its amazing how many people don't know that a vehicleisn't actually "grounded" itself.

I think you misunderstood what I said. A vehicle itself is not grounded, meaning without the battery the vehicle is not grounded. Proven by what happens when lightning strikes a car

so your battery has a ground in it ? LOL dude if the shock tower and or frame is good enough to provide you batt with a ground than so is a ground in the back from frame to amp/batteries. no need to run front to back if you argue that your a ratard

how is it that nobody on this forum knows that everything grounds back to the alternator case? think about it, if it doesnt click you should probably stop.
