Will someone post pics of their grounding wires/straps

When I had a Volvo, I ran a ground wire from a normal mount to the door mirror bolt. I had ground off the texture from the top tube of the mirror bracket the antenna mount clamped on. I was running a Connex 4300 with a 2290 toshiba into a straight 4 pill.

The 4 pill had both positive and negative 8 gauge running from the batteries up through the firewall to the overhead console. The wire was fused within 6 inches of the battery. I attached the wires to the particular battery that was frame grounded. I had less than a watt reflect on 700+Watts output, no interference with the ecm, dash, lights, and only messed with a few frequencies on the Fm stations,which you can do with a barefoot radio.

The man who built my amps told me that you can run long power wires to the battery and then ground the battery to the frame instead of grounding the amp. His daily driver has 9 alternators under the hood and he is very knowledgeable, and I trust his advice. That is how I run all my mobile amps, and I always get little to no reflect on a bird 43 with a 10watt slug.

 

You went to the devil's shop.

 

Let me guess. West Memphis?

 

Rays is one thing. He knows what he’s doing. But not the Channel 5 Shop.

 

I followed the advice on this site doing my set-up

 

If that was true, you wouldn't use the factory mount. It's the worst spot to mount an antenna.

 

That sounds perfectly normal for most people and unless your system is exactly like mine you won't be able to eliminate the heterodyne effect when multiple people talk simultaneously.

 

Sounds like a bad cable or a bad stud and maybe the cable isn't making a good connection to the stud
