I was reading the installer mag. and i was wondering how is it possible for a big time install to have the same ground with a set up of 3 amps in the air... crossovers and etc.. over here. and etc... in general are there lines between the lines in the 6inch ground rule.... what do professional installers do about grounding there Cd players processors and amps and how do they all share the same ground...

ive not heard of the 6 inch ground rule? i was taught to use a maximum of 18" for ground and between the fuse block and battery. you can use a single ground by using distrobution blocks.

okay that make scense, so what would be the best way to ground your receiver and processor.... would you use the factory ground.... even thought i hear this isn't the professional way

The shorter the ground the better. You don't want it to be too long. Run your own ground for your head unit, and processor some where else.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the deck and amps having the same ground. If they're both grounded properly you won't see any problems. When I worked at Ultimate, we were supposed to run an extra ground wire from the deck to the amp ground to prevent noise, but we never needed to do so.
