POWER / GROUND

Grounding

Locate an area near the amplifier(s) that is metal and clean an area about the size of a quarter to bare metal. Inspect the area around and underneath to be sure you won't drill into wires, brake or fuel lines, etc. Drill a pilot hole in the middle of this area.Terminate the ground wire with a ring connector and attach it to the bare metal using a #8 sheet metal screw and washer or preferably, a bolt, nut and a star washer (not supplied). We suggest crimping and soldering this connection. After the connection is complete, coat the area (on both sides) with silicone or some similar material to prevent rust from developing on the bare metal.

If your grand total current draw is over 50 amps (or total output power is over 300 watts), you should run a ground wire beside your power wire from the battery to the amplifier(s) in addition to your regular ground wire. Keep the ground and power wires as close together as possible, and use the same gauge wire for both. This will ensure that you have a good ground path, and may eliminate such potential problems as engine noise and overheated amplifiers.

Charging System Considerations

If your grand total current draw is over 100 amps (or total output power is over 600 watts), you are probably exceeding the capability of your charging system. Dimming lights and fluctuating voltage are solid indicators that you need to upgrade your alternator, battery (or go to multiple batteries), or both. Keep in mind that your amplifiers simply convert electrical energy to acoustical energy, and any electrical deficiency will compromise the performance of your sound system.
