[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8697489, member: 675210"] Honestly... you don't have to ground your amps to the chassis. In fact, you don't have to involve the chassis of vehicle at all if you don't want to. Saying that you have to ground your amps to the chassis is misleading. It depends on how the person wants to wire their system. Ground the battery or batteries to the chassis. At that point you "could" ground your amplifiers to the chassis but why when the most direct route to the battery ground is, the battery ground... grounding to the chassis puts a resistive item betweent the amp ground and its journey back to the battery ground. Best bet is a second battery in the close proximity of the amplifiers so that those amplifiers can ground directly to the negative of that battery. [/QUOTE]
