I have my battery relocated to my trunk using the summit kit and my amps are sorta close to my battery box and I was wondering if I could just run my ground cable from amp to negative battery terminal.

Thanks:thumb:

Yes you can. Make sure your ground stack has a heavy, solid connection to the body.
 
I agree, you can definetly ground your amps to the battery terminal ground. If they are as close to the battery as you say than go for it. The reason it is not suggested to do that normaly is because the longer the ground, the more likely engine noise will come into play with your system.
 
Hey thanks guys Yea I rewired my Alternator to fuse, and then fuse to battery and since I have the summit kit the wiring that comes with that is huge so everything is nice and beefy. My amps are about a foot if not less of wiring from the neg terminal so will just do that. Thanks again.
