It would not be overkill at all, however it does introduce another possible entrance point for noise and a ground loop.  If you have noise right now, try the ground direct to the battery and make sure that if the amp is mounted to metal, unmount it as the screws are also providing a possible ground loop. In 99% of the cases when I have grounded to the battery it has all but eliminated the worst of noise problems.

Thanks Rob, I'll do that tonight. I have my amp mounted on two wood blocks so that's not the source of the porblem. I forgot to mention that I have a computer fan attached to the mounting blocks also. I have it running on the power and ground at the amp, but I doubt that's any problem, because I still have problems with it unattached.

Right, so I got the Phoenix Gold amp in tonight, and I installed it. All my problems just seemed to dissapear. Odd problems - Page 3 - Last Post -- posted image. So anyways, turns out I just had a POS amp.
Last time I ever buy anything with the name Pyramid on it again. :-P

BTW: precision power recommends a dedicated ground wire to the battery for any amp over 300 W on any vehicle.
