Ground Wire

Post by mwebb »

I just hooked my system up today and I originally used a ground under the long compartment in the back. When i had everything hooked up it did not work, so I tested the connections and the ground somehow had power. So now I have it hooked up to the tie down strap holders.Where are other Vibers grounding there systems at? I like all wires to be hidden, any sugestions?thanks

Can't you run it through the firewall into the engine bay?
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!

I grounded my subwoofer by using the bolt who hold the plastic area in the back.
