Setup...
1996 Chevy Tahoe
250 Amp Mechman Alternator
Big 3 0/1 knuconceptz wire
0/1 power/ground
Autotek MM2000.1D (2006 Version)
Optima redtop
2 15" JBLs 600 rms in total (currently installed)
Highs and mids amp 200-400rms (to be installed)
DC Audio Lvl 4 18 1000+rms (to be installed)
Infinity coaxials (to be installed)
Infinity tweeters (to be installed)

OK SO, i have 2000 rms of power capability with this amp and much more in peak/dynamic power ches? Ches...

Now, i currently have my 0 gauge ground to my rear seat bolt but i feel its causing voltage drop and seeing as i have a 250 amp alternator and 0 gauge throughout on ONLY 600 rms. i feel this might be a bit of an issue..

Now i want to ground my 0 gauge to my frame. however, i was wondering are there any factory holes in the cabin before i drill a hole through my hoe so i can ground my 0 gauge to the actual frame?

Thanks :)

Side note, if i must drill... :challenge: I will.

Not trying to insult your intelligence, but did you remove the paint from the seat bolt and around the area before installing ground?

also forgot to mention the length of your ground cable. If all that's good, then you may have to find a different location.
