Default Ground Wire Question

I saw this on ebay and was wondering if anybody ever bought a product like this? Does anybody have any install pics? Did you feel any changes? Do you think this product is OK to buy?

Dont waste your money. Buy a ground fushion kit or make your own.

i got that kit , cost like $15.00 was definatly worth it cause you dont have to spend the time to make it and it doesnt look bad, dont use the battery adapter though just connect it to the oem batter nut , doesnt give you power but definatly smoothes out the idle and i notice less static on the radio

Does anybody have pics of theirs installed on the tc? The tech report on this site is on the xa. I just wanted to see the points that I had to connect each wire at? What are the best sites to connect the ground wires to?

the main points that your going to want to hit are chassis--> negative terminal, chassis---> engine block, and alternator positive---> positive terminal. that's known as the big three in the audio world. anything else is just icing on the cake.
