Guest Vee Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Ive installed a sound system in my focus except for one thing. The earth cable for the amp. maybe I haven't looked properly but I can't find a good earthing point. Can anyone please help? I really miss my sounds. I had I.C.E. in my first car (K reg. Fiesta). That was very easy to install. The Focus is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vr6galaxy Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Cany find an earthing point? make one then! drill a hole in a metal part of thr body, clean off the paint, rust proof the area and stick in a nut and bolt, bobs your uncle as they say! :) if you dont want to drill a hole use one of the seat belt mounting bolts in the boot area or one of the rear seat fixing bolts? these are fixing into the main body of the car and they should be solid ones as well so you will get a good earth!

Ivor_E_Tower Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 ...or run a cable back to battery negative? I must say, VR6, with that current avatar perhaps it should be "Boob's your uncle" rather than "Bob's your uncle" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mattyb_foci Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 in the boot, if u look at it straigh on, look to the left and find a bolt that goes onto the metal, should be near the middle, get some sanding paper scratch it down, and attach it to the bolt. Thats how i earthed mine, works fine ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
