Thats what I thought. I just wasn't sure if it was a bad thing to directly ground it. However, now that I think of it, its the same thing...
AND I replaced my ground cable with a 2 gauge cable, and what a FREAKING DIFFERENCE. MY SPEAKERS HIT TWICE AS HARD AS BEFORE AND NO SIGN OF THE NEEDLE FLUCTUATING.
THIS UPGRADE IS A MUST IF YOU HAVE A STEREO.

OH, I forgot.
Whats the routing on the power wire. I see it going off to the distributor, and I am not sure how to replace it.
Can someone tell me where the power wire goes from the alternator?? I know it goes to the battery, but where else does it go? and is it easy to replace??
Thanks.
