good earth

[Euan]

just wondering where every1 has there amp earthed to in the boot. i know the boot catch is good but my lead doesnt fit on it that well.

Just earth to a hole that is there by the catch, just below near carpet! Rub off paint and make sure its metal to metal good solid connection with smallest earthing cable possible!

[DaySpring]

Don't forget to re-rust proof the site of the earth after you've hooked up to it!

Plus it can be a good idea to earth your H/U amps etc all to the same point to avoid a 'ground loop'

smallest earthing cable possible???? whats that all about, u want i nice fat un shourly, want as little resistance possible shourly?

also i find it good practise to fuse EVERYTHING!

you only need put a fuse IN your amp, and also in the fatest red wire at the battery end

fusing a negative wires is POINTLESS.

that means smallest LENGTH cable possible. closer to the earthing point the better, use the correct guage / wattage amp wiring kit for the amp.

woow i forgot bout the post, thought u meant thicknes of wire, and i meant fuse every aplication seperatly,

to come our ot retirement for a brief second.

DO NOT FUSE NEGATIVE/EATRH!
Its dangerous to fit fuses to earths and negatives. say the negative one blew, there would still be a supply of current/voltage from the postive, which can cause problems

/me back into retirement

wtf....WHO SAID ANY THING ABOUT FUSING EARTHS!!!???
