Amp ground location, where is yours?

wsutard1 · Feb 4, 2015

I have been searching round on this forum and can't find the answer to this question so I thought I would start an easily searchable thread for anyone who looks for this in the future.

Where and how are you grounding your amps?
Give a one sentence description of your amps and the location, method.

Might help people with ground issues in the future.

I ran mine to the frame of my truck. Just below the rear seats.

Me too... I ran the ground cable through the floor and bolted it to the frame.

Just meter test any 12v source and use the ground probe to find a solid ground. A seat bolt is great.

Through the floor and bolted to the frame.

I know this is an old thread, but where are y’all going through the floor at?

I drilled a hole under the back seat, installed a grommet, and ran cable through to the frame where I drilled and tapped a bolt hole.

Just remove a seat bolt and use that. No need to go to the frame.

seat bolt is fine

Just be sure to have bare metal contact. Absolutely no need to go to the frame

While I agree with this, the frame is still always the best option. For the systems people are doing on here though, it is overkill.

If the cable was silver Id swear that was my exact ground.

JinxCanada · Feb 24, 2018

maybe people won't think this is ok...but I just grounded my amp to the seat bolt since there was no paint there and it the bolt goes directly to the frame. quick and easy.
