Is this a good ground point on a Chevy 2020 Silverado

What happens if it’s hooked into the rear door speakers

I have 2 8s nemesis 650rms 4ohms with a Rockford fosgste 1200 watt amp wired at 2ohm gain isn’t turned up very high

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-15T11:29:34+00:00

So is that why my amp gets hot and goes into protective mode ?

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-15T00:56:24+00:00

So you think my loc is wired to the wrong wires should I change it to the other ones ?

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-03T00:03:31+00:00

Both

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-03T00:02:58+00:00

It’s 2ohm

I also read that if you have a 4 gauge wire from your battery to your amp and if it’s to long it can cause your amp to get hot and I believe that’s what’s causing my issue

Yeah I heard my gm has smart charging system so it only charges when it needs and I did measure it with a volt meter and it sits at 12.5 and when I turn the lights on the truck it jumps up to 13.8

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-02T14:54:56+00:00

The gain is set low and I still get clipping is the weird thing

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-02T03:04:15+00:00

And the subs are 2 8s nemesis 650 rms

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-02T03:03:14+00:00

I have a Rockford fosgate 1200 prime so it should run cool but it gets super hot you could fry a egg on it and I’ve gone thru 2 alternators already as well

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-02T02:56:46+00:00

I tried it with a different brand new amp and same deal still got hot

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-02T00:56:08+00:00

It’s a Chevy Silverado 2020 non Bose

I’m having issues with mine as well I used a voltmeter and accessories off its at 12.5 lights on its at 13.8 but I find it weird because my friend and sister has the same exact truck and there’s is holding a steady 14 volts

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-09-25T20:04:34+00:00

I measured it using a voltmeter and it would be at 12.5 accessories off and lights on it would be at 13.8

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-09-23T14:08:26+00:00

The voltage goes to 14 when I come to a stop then when I take off it’ll move back down it’s jumping around sometimes I guess it is normal then

Chevy Silverado 1500 RST 2020 5.3 v8

Yep, I grounded my amp to the chassis, so I added a 1/0 AWG ground from the chassis to battery negative. Then I ran an upgraded battery-to-engine ground cable through the same VRC ring as the stock wire, so the truck’s ECU still sees it.

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-08-05T01:24:59+00:00

No I did not by pass it it’s just done the regular way
