hey guys.....just a quistion about ground your system. I usually run my system with one big power wire, send it through a fuse block, then to what ever I'm powering. everything goes through the same, grounds all go to a distribution block, and back into the same size wire I have for my main power. I was wondering which was better, gounding to the body of the vehicle, or straight back to the battery??? I usually send the ground back to the neg of the battery. is that better, or just a waste of money? Does it make a diff?

thanks for all your help

the reasoning behind going back to the battery is that cars rust, have poor welds, and dont move electricty as well as a high strand count 0gauge wire,the next time you buy a car... see if you can get the model with oxygen free steel...lol.
the point is that your system is only as good as its weakest link.
