Rep Power: 0 sorry...
why is it that the positive lead goes to the constant 12v, but the negative lead only has to go to bare metal on the chassis? Does that mean there a constant negative charge going through all bare metal surfaces?
Like how when you jump start a car, you put the positive cable on the positive battery lead, but the negative cable on bare metal?
hope that clears things up

Rep Power: 0 The metal body acts as the ground, when you wire up an amp you must find a good spot to ground it, make sure you remove the paint to expose the bare metal.
