    Ground question?

    Should the ground on an amp or power supply go to the body of the car or to the negative battery terminal or does it matter?

    Really does not matter, just ground it to the body of the car with the same gauge cable as the positive and you should be fine.

    make it go to the car, "ruff up" the medal and bolt it down SECURE to get a great ground so you have no issues later
