connex 3300 with fatboy amp

I can't seem to get my amp grounded, new to cb world, driving freightliner, general hp40w with fatboy amp. Rf"s ateflying every where, can't get good ground on ant or amp on frame.

 

Bs I had a connex deadkeying 32 watts driving a fatboy 4 pill with a monkeymade antenna and talked all over the country loud and proud.

 

I Have A General Hp40w, With A Fatboy High Drive 4Pill, Low Power Dk Is 4 Watts, High Power 8 Watts And Swings From There. I Have Ground Issues Need To Get Negative Grounded To Frame. freightliner Cascadia Antenna Won't Ground Need Help Bad.AmP Is Hooked To Battery Both Neg N Pos Radio Is HookedTo Batt Power Only. Need Help.

 

You have a Connex that DK's 32w's? Or swings 32w's...I would love to see a video of your radio DKing 32w's into a 4-pill anything...

 

I'm assuming your SWR is threw the roof...As for the Amp, I would run the positive wire to the battery, then run the negative wire to the frame...

The antenna, I also assume, you probably have it mounted to one of the mirror brackets...On some trucks, it's almost impossible to get a decent ground off the bracket...I have a Ford E450 that I was wanting to put the antenna on the mirror bracket, but no matter what I tried, I could never get a decent ground...Ended up having to use a fender mount off the front fender to mount the antenna and get a good ground...You may try moving your antenna to a different mounting location, maybe to the grab bar behind the cab...You may need to run ground straps off that tho to the frame as well tho...one off each side straight to the frame and see if that don't work better.

By the way...IMO, that's allot of radio for a 4-pill...not saying it won't work, just saying it's going to be driving the snot out of a 4 pill if the radio is swinging 100w's.
