Amp ground big 3 and relay Q's
Going to be doing a amp install soon actually two amps both going under the passenger seat and drivers seat these are the small pioneer amps that dont put out as much heat as other amps for the grounding points I was thinking one of the bolts holding down the seat and same for the passenger side i will remover the carpet so i can sand down the paint to bare metal i just am not sre if this will be a good grounding point any advice please on typical ground points for amps that go under the seats. Next i will prob do the big 3 upgrade later but i looked everywhere and can not find a thread anywhere it sound pretty straight forward replace wire with bigger wires i would just like to see someone who did the install. next i read on another website that when using multiple components (i am using two amps one for sub one for speakers) to use a relay for the power turn on wire since the headunit has something inside that if to many power turn on wires are connected it will blow or something im just powering two amps no more other components and was wondering if this is true or am i ok just running two remote power turn on wires one from each amp to the head unit. thanks any help will be helpfull thanks
remove the factory wire that runs from your alternator to your + terminal on your underhood battery , lay it next to a 0 awg power wire cut it to the same length , install the 0 awg wire you just cut to factory length along the same path that the factory wire was routed
install a 0 awg - run from your underhood battery - terminal to your frame of the car , scrapping off any debris or paint to make a clean connection
and if you want to use 0 awg power run from your underhood battery + into your cabin and under your passenger seat to a distro block, ( block being 1 each 0 awg in and 2 each 4 awg out ) then use 2 each 4 awg out to your power input of both amps ( fuse the 0 awg run as power with at least a 250 amp fuse anl would be fine) another option is just running 2 each 4 awg power runs 1 to each amp , and fuse each 4 awg run with a 150 amp anl fuse
then use 4 awg out of both amps ground out to your seat bolt as ground
