    Good spreading proper technique. Tbh I've had my sub and amp done by others twice and the grounds were always a little lazy, just drilled into the chassis one and done. I've since had to install the same setup 3 times and have done it way better without any effort. I sand down the surface with 60 grit to bare metal, use a big self tapper drilling it tight but not stripping the thread, can add a bit of loctite if worried about loosening but it's never happened to me. Top it off with clear coat over the finished grounding and once dried if you want to be a super pro, add peteolium jelly over the connection to completely lock it off from any outside elements

      Peteolium jelly trick is mainly to keep battery terminals corrosion and rust free by covering and keeping water out. Overkill for a ground if run in the interior but y not

    I came here with plenty of knowledge on a good ground, but you just never know what you can learn and I still learned some valuable stuff. I’ve been using threaded inserts for years and love em. I’ll be combining that perfect circle wire brush with them going forward. I also didn’t realize those bolts paired with the lock washer and serrated nut were self tap. That’ll be added to the arsenal as well. Finding myself on this channel more and more

    Just use a pre drill than a tap threader set and the right size bokt if you metal is thick enough and you don’t need a nut cause it makes its own threads I’d still use a star lock washer or bolt that has a locking head. ? Bi like that wire sander with the point that sweet.

    Is one ground from the battery to chassis all you need or depending on how much power you have? Also can you just wire the amp ground to the battery then battery to chassis or amp ground to chassis and battery to chassis? I’m new to car audio and I want to learn.

    • @ssjdavid

      The battery is always the best ground or straight off the alt

  • @kitcat2559

    The best way to ground is a minimum of 1 box of screws per CM of course 0.0

    Great instructions, but i dont think we need to let people get away with the second method anymore. It still leaves a lot of room for error, making it just slightly better then the first method.
    Wiggle the cable around a couple of times with the second method and it bet its able to rotate.

      Yea im not exactly encouraging anyone do options 1 or 2 but we also have to be realistic that some people aren't going to invest in the tools and products to complete options 3 and 4. So if someone is going to use self tappers I rather you not do option 1 at all
