Hey everybody - Newbie with a question. What is the typical grounding location you guys use for a 2000 camaro. I am having some troubles with an amp I installed and I am thinking it is a bad ground. I am working at the passenger side behind the spare - and I am not sure what will work for a good grounding location. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks - Jared

 

Any area that is unpainted should work. In the trunk area scrape the paint off to the bare metal and gound it there.

 

i used the seat hing bolt.

 

the grounding cable provided with the wiring kit isn't very long - and it shouldn't be - but i scraped all the paint off around a bolt that holds the bumper on - the amp was working great - and then it stopped - blew all the fuses and so on - i wasn't sure if that just wasn't a good enough ground - when you refer to the seat hinge bolt - are you sating the bolt at the top of the rear seat for where it locks back?

 

It sounds like you just have a short or the amp got too hot. Are you running it at full power?

 

well the gain and bass boost are both down - however i am running two dvc 4ohm subs to it wired at 2 ohms each - it is a 2 channel amp - and it is rate to run at 2 ohms per channel - i may need to wire the subs up at 4 ohms and see how it does - i just need to get the amp to stop popping fuses for now - it worked great for a day - now it is blowing the fuses and smokin -it is probably shorted internally - it is still under warranty

 

are you by any chance running the amp bridged, you should go to rockfordfosgate.com and use the woofer wiring diagram even if u dont have a fosgate

 

no - the amp isn't bridged, but both subs are 4ohm dvc wired @ 2ohm
amp is 480x2@2ohms

 

then go fosgate site i showed you and select your subs and it will tell you how to run them in series which i think will be best for you
