Just installed a Bluetooth amp to my car, to clean the dashboard with a blank faceplate, I ran a cable direct to my battery but I am getting the amp to shut down protecting maybe because of an overload since it doesn’t get energy from the regulated board I think. Can anyone confirm if my assumption is correct or if my regulator is not regulating correctly.
Thanks. I updated the photo. And my wires ![]() |

What's up with the single ground to chassis only?
At a minimum I want a chassis ground like you have AND an even larger cable direct to engine/transmission, the closer to the starter the better... Optimal is big ground (large battery cable) to starter mount, medium ground (10 gauge or better) to engine close to alternator. Then 2 big (small battery cable) to chassis. One at normal spot and one behind/beneath the dash. For the front one I'd put in a grounding bar similar to what you find in your home electrical panel. That would allow me to add ground circuits at will from the dashboard appliances. I sorry I don't have a direct answer to your question. IMHO you need grounds BAD! |

What's up with the single ground to chassis only? Standard automotive practice on both vintage and modern vehicles. Picture below is battery negative cable for BMW E70 X5. Although it has a device incorporated (shunt resistor) to allow all current draw to be measured - all current is still sourced from a single ground connection to chassis and battery negative. Very modern but still a single ground ![]() |
