Connex 4600 with a kicker

Exactly the truck that i had 06 T600 with studio sleeper, i did not had ground issue fo the radio because i have grounded radio to the cab and can to the frame but i did had ground problem for my linear.

I ended up installing my radio and linear left side of passenger seat where seat belt buckle and my linear was behind the passenger seat, my ground was the bolt that hold the seat and underneath the cab i did run ground strap from the bolt to the frame.

 

This would be the perfect antenna for your truck. This guy was running one of those Stryker radios going into an 8 pill and he sounded crystal clear up close as well as far away..

You might consider going with a larger wire for both + and -. I am runnning a connex 4300 to push a Sweet 16 and ran 0 gauge fine stran wire and a Wilson 5K. I keep the output on the radio down to where I am never putting out over 1K even though the amp is capable of more. You have to be carefull with overdriving your amp with the radio. Like stated above......make sure a competent technician matches your radio and amp together. Also study the info on this site: http://www.k0bg.com/
Bonding is a major issue when running this kinda power.

 

Radio mounted on steel bracket installed to the seat base and amp against the wall between seat and bunk but in the cab.

3FT jumper was enough since the distance between radio & amp was about 14 inches.

I did go through lot's of work to make it work but that's the only solution that i have found.

As Hayseed said find yourself and competent tech if you are not sure of what you are doing, 1K + juice might not be much for some but it is still lot's of power.

I have sold every amps that i had, i am at the point of only a good radio and good antenna is what i am looking for now.

 

That's a really good question and i don't want to BS you on this one, i never had to use more than 3FT because i always had radio & amp close....

Some shops sell 3, 6, 9 jumpers, also some amps builders sell remote switch for amps....

Rabbiporkchop & Mike5511 could answer you on this topic both of these Gentlemens are a good source of knowledge in the radio world.
