Is it safe to have the Negative/ground wire from capacitor touch the negative/Ground wire from an amp?

Question

in other words... with the ground (-) wire coming out of the amp... and the (-)ground wire coming from the capacitor, not connected to each other, but rather connected / bolted down to the same location?

Answer 1

no proble at all. i even have a distribution block and have all grounds running to it, amp,cap,eq, and even my neons.

Answer 2

it's safe to do that. but remember this, the shorter the ground wire is, the less there is going to be ground noises through the speakers. keep your ground cable from amp to a length of no more than 18".

Answer 3

Actually this is something I try to accomplish most often as possible. I am a firm believer on having a common ground point. In my experience having just one point of ground for multiple sources eliminates noise. You arent doing anything wrong, in fact this is great!

Cheers

Answer 4

yes, absolutly.. either way it does anyway.. if you botled them to different locations it's all still metal touching eachother to the battery
