im installing a system in an 04 accord and there is nowhere to ground it exept to the gas tank ground wire... is it safe to ground there? i know on my system i have had a spark while hookin gup the ground wire i was just curious if its safe to run it there?

 

Gas tank ground wire? Not sure what you're talking about, but trying isn't going to hurt anything. See if it loops, if not, you're good to go.

 

there was like a ground wire comming out of the top of the gas tank... i guess to get rid of any static electricity? but i just didnt hook there just to be on teh safe side.. that car was a bitch to install tho. its one with all that dvd navigation crap in it so u cant pull teh head unit out or an ythign like i normally, i hada go to teh fuse box for the rem wire cuz the cigerette liters required me to take off teh whole center concole thing...power wire was a bitch to get threw the fire wall... owell it all sounded good in the end.. it was a w3 with a profile amp... it actually slammed pretty good, i was impressed..

 

tapcon screws bro are nice, just make sure you watch where u drill

 

no gas tanks for meee

 

Dude, If your lookin for ground, anywhere on the chassis will work. Hell, when I wire a car I always go to chassis but NEVER the gas tank, i'm to much of a pussy to risk that.

 

i know how to ground it... i just try to find an existing bolt so i dont have to drill a whole in the persons car.. just looks cleaner to me.. but in her car all there was is the gas tank ground and i wasnt sure if it was safe to ground the same thing as the gas tank.. but i just drilled a whole and screwed it down.. what kinda screwes or w.e do u guys use.. in my car my wires were moved alot and after a while they would come loose..do yall use any special screw or anything

 

tapcon screws is what i use usually, either that or predrill and hole and use a metal screw

 

Use one of those star shaped or lick washers to help bite into the surface, won't come loose.

 

+1 on 04 accords being a bitch, i did 2 xplod 12s in one. That dash is hell, I never did figure it out, but I managed to get the center trim around the shifter out so i could unplug the wire for the cig lighter and do the remote.
