ok so they attach to the frame, and drag on the road to ground the car?

how is that any better than the 4 big rubber tires you have rolling down the road.

Might also be known as static straps. Thats what I've always known them as.

I don't think that a dc setup should cause you to get shocked. A dc circuit is a closed circuit in that the earth is not part of the set up. I'm not sure why you would be getting shocked by adding more power to your system. Power in your amp should equal power out (minus heat dissipation and other losses). Static shock is cause by an imbalance of electrons and the sudden grounding out of those displaced electrons from what I understand. If you are getting a static problem, I don't think that it is because of your stereo but I might be off in left field...
