Just installed and now I have fuzzy noise

remind me why a straight ground to the battery is a bad thing? i guess the theories regarding direct current have changed slightly...

its not... some people believe it is bad to have multiple ground points because because the power will oscilate between one ground and the other. What they don't understand is that power will flow through both grounds.... all the time. Electricity follows the path of least resistance, but you will always have electron flow through all grounds, just a matter of how much.

High resistance is bad, as long as you don't have high resistance... everything else does not matter.

Edit: somepeople think that the chasis ground has less resistance than a direct ground.... if you got the money.... use both, but there's little reason to do a direct bat ground to the amps unless you use an adequate sized wire awg... IE, bigger than what is actually "needed". You can get away with 8awg for a 300w amp... but 4awg is a hell of a lot better.
