The battery already has a ground wire going to the chassis.... all you have to do is connect to a bare metal spot (on the chassis) so the ground signal can travel from your amp, through the chassis, and to the negative battery terminal - thus making the complete circuit...


Just connect the 4ga ground to a bare metal spot, connect the other end to a distribution block, and run the 2 8ga grounds to the negative terminal on the amps...

If it's your first time, I'd probably get someone who has done it before to help - but it's not that bad....

I think I had my tC amps grounded to a bolt under the backseat - just hit the spot with a dremel to grind off some paint then attached the ring terminals to there...

That I'm not sure of.... it's possible, but you might end up having to take out both styrofoam trays to fit them...
