Herbert,
That's was a good one. Thanks for getting back with
us. Did you have the original ground which goes from the back of one of the
heads to the firewall? As a standard, aren't there three different points where
a ground should go? Does anyone know? Hood to firewall, firewall to block, block
to battery?
Also, could you make your default email text larger. The
standard is 12. I am not that old and find it hard to read your
posting. I do not want to miss anything.
Thanks
Keith Cooper

I thought I would let you all know I fixed the "thump" I was
getting through the woofers when the engine cooling fans kicked
on.
I originally had the amps getting both +12v and ground
directly off the battery. Yesterday, just out of curiosity, I ran a
heavy gauge ground strap from the battery to the body and ran the amp grounds
to a different point on the body. I started the engine and let it
run until the fans kicked on, and no more thump! I don't know the reason
or theory behind moving the ground, but apparently it works. Now I can
return that $94 capacitor I don't need. : )
