Pass along any sites you found helpful.

thanks!
I home run my ground cable. I run 2 gauge from the trunk to a bulkhead pass thru up near the firewall. From there I can tie directly to engine, and then add support grounds from body to sub. I can then tie all my other main electrical systems back to that pass thru. It creates a more stable ground path and less issues with electrical systems
