GAK! 3 screws to ground a ring terminal? FAK NO!

You would want to use a bolt and a nut and 2 washers to ground what looked like 0 gauge.

Cleaning is mighty important...as is shooting a squirt of spray paint over the cleaned area after grounding.

Yea, I saw that - a bolt would be much better. Or finding a factory bolt - even better.

Since the amps are so close to the battery in e30's anyways - why not run a ground wire from the battery?

Oh - thir box carpting video is decent, so is they box building video - But I'm sure they did something Luke would laugh at!!! That's alright - we expect that from you!

seriously if the box is built right and had mounting points if need be there should be no reason to have that secure of a grounding point... I know with my sub being able to slide around the ground can some times come unhooked but it's never from the ground on the car it's teh ground going into the amp it slides out when you take a left corner too fast

No Really, "un-hooked"??? you hook your ground? Like a cowboy? A 16 gauage laso around the shock tower nut?

I am just hoping you are joking here man...this has to be one of the dumbest posts I have ever seen.

The ground wire is NOT a tether.
