eq and deck wiring

I have a pioneer deh-2200ub and clarion eqs746, installed with a monster cable head unit power kit. My question is what is the correct way to wire these two things together (power/ground)? Currently I have them spliced together off of the monster cable power wire I ran from the battery to the dash, and they're also grounded together to a piece of sheet metal behind the dash to keep the wires as short as possible. Would I be able to run the grounds somewhere else, because I feel they're currently not reviving a good ground.Mastermindz

Should be fine.  What makes you think the ground is bad?Support the12volt.com

The lights to my eq go really dim when I put the volume up 3/4Mastermindz

That may or may not have anything to do with grounding.  What's the voltage at the EQ when that happens?  Does the head unit disp;ay any similar behavior?

As far as I can't tell the head unit is fine, but I'm not sure of voltage, but they're both wired together as far as power/ground. On my cap it reads from 12-14, do u think it may be a charging issue?Mastermindz

It's possible your alternator cannot keep up with the load and system voltage is drooping.  It's also possible you do have a bad ground, or even that your EQ is defective.  Put a meter on the power lead to the EQ and see what it is when the lights dim.Support the12volt.com

I know my alt is 108 amps stock and how would I find my amps consumption? My bass amp has 2 x 30 amp fuses and my voice amp has 2 x 25 amp fuses and the kit for my deck wiring is a 10 ampMastermindz

Really?

Yea here's the Model Number: #MPC P200 BAP50, It says 50 watts. Maybe having the eq and hu wired through this is too much load on it?Mastermindz

Is this a pre-amp EQ?  Do you have speakers connected to the radio's speaker wires?
