To the right here is a
complete fail, the earth has
been attached to painted
metal and held with a washer
and a self tapping screw, this
will most denitely cause
serious resistance and while
the amp may appear to
function correctly initially, at
higher output levels, the amp
will strain and a component
within will fail very quickly.
DO NOT DO YOUR EARTH
LIKE THIS!!! PLEASE! :)
As explained in the previous instructions, getting

a good quality connection on the earth is critical
for getting your equipment working correctly. If
you get it wrong, it WILL fry your amp and WONT
be covered under warranty! These pictures give
you very clear examples of good and bad
practices.
To the left you can see what is commony
percieved to be a good earthing point. It is not,
there will not be enough pressure on the ring
terminal and oxidisation will occur on surfaces.
To the left, we see a hole drilled directly into the

chassis, big enough for a bolt and with access to
the nut from behind. The area has been prepared by
sanding off all the paint down to the bare metal. on
the contact side of the hole. Although you do not
need to sand off as large an area as you see here,
this was done for illustration purposes.
Here you can see the nished product, as

you can see there will be ample contact
between the ring terminal and the chassis of
the car. The bolt is the correct size to clamp
down only on the ring. Its worth mentioning
at this point, a quick blow over with primer
will stop the metal rusting too!
