In open-cell batteries (not commonly used in car audio, but regular car batteries that 99% of people have), there may be flammable gasses being emitted. It doesn't happen all the time, but why take the risk of getting a spark right in the middle of a cloud of flammable gas? This is why they will tell you to connect it to the frame 'as far away from the battery as possible'. With closed-cell batteries (which the majority of us use I think...), this is not at all a concern, as there are no gasses that can potentially escape and be ignited</p></blockquote><p></p>
