Would you run CAB 1600.1?

I doubt he made any mistakes, but maybe the D'Amore SMD dyno isnt accurate lol.I would like to see repeated Dynos to see if same results every time.

Maybe its like AncestryDNA, you send in identical samples with different names and get different results.

Just because it's the same amp doesn't mean it'll have the same wattage...? I think if it's what your referring to.

That too, but I mean run the amp charge batts back to the same V and run again hoping for the same or really close results... but maybe not?!?

I got my eyes open for a dd m1 just to cut down on worrying if my amp will survive. Plus it would be cool to run matching sub and amp for a chance.

Hey I can't find my engine ground for my 2016 Dodge Dart. Can I just add one or would that cause some unwanted noise?

From your battery, just follow the lead wire. I'd be surprised if there isn't one.

I would think they should have the same 2nd time around. Dunno if temperature will affect it or not.

No I found the alt to batt and batt to ground. But I can't find a ground for the engine. Even on the dart forums no one seems to know. I might have to go to the service shop and ask. Let's see if they tell me. I wonder if I come up short could I just find a engine bolt to tie into and ground that

I'm a bit confused. So, do you know for sure that there is a from neg battery to ground lead or just wanting to add one? So no one knows on that forum if there is or not? Sounds to me either they are dumb, don't do any car audio or just plain don't pay any attention to this type of stuff.

What yr/make is your car? See if I can dig up something...

It's a 2016 Dodge Dart 2.0. I did find a ground location on the passenger side next to the strut housing but wasn't able to follow it without cutting into the wrap. I guessing this might be it.

And yes I found the neg to batt ground. I'm looking for the engine to frame or Chassis

Ok, prob more than likely engine block ground. My Tahoe has 2 of them. With these newer vehicles it gets more challenging to fix/repair/replace parts. You just might have to dig around and see if there is one.

The alternator is connected to the block, sooooooo.............

So I should add a ground from the alt to the frame? Sorry if I don't understand

Yes. I have ground wires connected directly to my alt cases. The power charging your battery is coming from the alternator.

OK I'll try that. I'll also try to find where factory grounded the engine as well. I wish there was more info on this. The only concern I have is I hope I don't get engine ground noise if that's what you call it.
