[QUOTE="Sweet'n Low, post: 6903582, member: 613860"] I took my battery out and took a look at what i was dealing and a lot of questions came to mind. [COLOR=blue]"7) Attach the wire along the way to something that won’t get too hot and that won’t vibrate too terribly. Go ahead and connect the wire to the positive battery terminal"[/COLOR] [IMG]http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n5/Slymosickle/102_0071.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n5/Slymosickle/?action=view&current=102_0072.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n5/Slymosickle/102_0073.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=8px]one going to my trunk for my amps [/SIZE] Mine already has 3 things connected to it. Is this unusal or am i just not thinking this out? Next I'm having a hard time finding a chassis ground. for both my engine block and negative. I've got a couple ideas though.
