Ground for amp in front

Post by eddymcbrambram »

Im fitting an amp in the front of my 6n, passenger side under the dash,
and was wondering where a suitable ground point would be?
i could easily wire my ground wire back through the firewall and use a ground point engine side,
but there must be a better place? using a shorter lenth of ground wire?

any advice would be much appreciated
thanks

also, is it possible to ?split? the remote turn on lead in any way?
so that i can run it to the amp in the front and an active sub in the rear?

just split the wire and run one to each

As for a ground, there should be one up inside on the inside of the chassis where the passenger wing would sit.

There are plenty of places around - if not, just put a decent bolt through part of the chassis under there
