    its been discussed before.
    if you run a high current draining large stereo then all that is really needed is a larger battery ground to the chassis cable. leave the stock one but just add a tank one.

    if this is not enough you can daisy chain to another pt.
    this is what i do. ive got 4 grounding pts connected to a bus bar with 4GA cable.
    and the very short gnd cable that goes straight to the chassis which is also daisy chain to a another point 10-15cm away.
    at the rear the amp(s) grounding is daisy chained to 2 additional locations. ie 3 pts. this kind of thing may be needed when you ask an amp to suck up to 200a of current.


    those pivot and raisin voltage stabiliser are TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY
    some people may just think its bling with the blue led.
    You'd be having lots of ground loops in your setup.

    And, you don't need that many grounds even if you had an amp that sucked 10,000 amps. LOL. All you need is one. The ground determines the 0V condition as cars use a floating ground.

    at the moment my car is running an sq setup.
    no ground loops. there is no audiable noise or interferance at all.
    sorry to burst your bubble
    A ground loop occurs when there is more than one ground connection path between two pieces of equipment.
    this is not the case here so your claim about my setup in particular .

    the under bonnet grounding has been use extensively by Marty at fhrxstudios utilising the alum bus bar.
    as well the rear grounding reinforcement setup in his SQ demo car.

    im very happy with my diy setup which has claimed me numerous trophys.

    i can see why once you read what i said you though thats a a grounding loop for sure. but i assure you there is not.

    Ahh, I thought it might have a loop with your description of 3 ground points for your single amp at the rear. I guess it's difficult to visualise without a photo.
