Here's my plan. My ground is getting pretty crowded. I'm going to get a terminal bus and ground everything there and ground the terminal to the ground. Making sure everything is grounded correctly.

Now, I have to run a bigger wire for my newly installed fusebox. Right now its only 12ga wire to that thing. Like you said earlier, risking a fire. So, I'm going to go to Advanced Auto Parts and get a super long 8 ga wire to it. Is there a way to put a switch on that? I don't want things pulling power the whole time, only when I want it to. Maybe a solenoid? Its coming directly from the battery, no fuse. If I were to put on a fuse, what fuse would I put on a line like that? I want all the amps I can get, right?

Good news, for now. With the inverter setup, I put a GLI on it, and the audio is very very impressive. No static, only when the radio goes to 70-80. No matter what setup I've had so far, anything exactly 70 and above the static begun (only on aux), so somethings wrong there, but I live with it, its too loud anyhow.

But, I really appreciate the help Dave, things are looking better, and more organized since you've helped me. You've shone plenty of DC powered light on my setup.
