A question about why I see several of you SPL competitors running such long runs of 1/0 ground/power wire. I thought the ground had to be 3 feet max from the amp? Or is it because your running multiple runs, or because the guage is big enough that it isn't a problem running it back to the battery? Sorry just confused, and whats the advantages of running it back to the battery? Quicker response, more power?

 

think of a dam in a river (there is a point where the car is the dam )

 

zzz its to early to be on the computer , but if the flow is traveling directly back to the battery it would recycle the energy making it less of a drop instead of traveling though out the frame of your vehicle.

hope it helps =]

 

go to work then B-Box

 

So in a sense, if it's more efficent, why do they tell you to just tap the ground into the frame close to the amp, and not run a ground wire to the battery?

 

you can do it either way really, as long as the car is not too old and rusty
