[QUOTE="jarance, post: 98955, member: 21"] Please don't be mislead that you will get better performance when you do extra grounding. Most of the car that is more than 5 years "loose" their performance because of the increase of resistance due to rust and oxidation of the surface contact of the body and the negative cable. When the resistance increases, the battery or the charger will not be able to deliver the necessary amp to drive the electrical component. The above is similar to a situation when you need to jump start a car. If you use a cable that is rated to < than 200 amp, chances is that you will not be able to jump start it. The accesories shop will of course recommend you to put in extra earthing or grounding wire because they can charge you for it. Most of the problem can be solve if the terminal where the postive and negative is cleaned with a wire brush and applied with copper based grease to prevent oxidation. Of course, those who have added state of the art Hi-fi will need to use or added additional negative wires as these hi-fi tend to draws a lot amp. [/QUOTE]
