    Knowing the right way to wire a car audio system is essential for delivering a quality system to your customer. This article will discuss proper phasing of the speakers to achieve the maximum bass response out of your speakers, as well as proper power and ground procedures to allow your vehicle to achieve the maximum voltage output to your amplifier.

    Let’s start with the battery and the proper connections required to get the best performance out of a car stereo. If you look at the charging lead for the battery you’ll notice that it’s a smaller gauge wire than you’re using for the amplifier. It’s a good idea to upgrade it to a four-gauge power lead from the alternator to the battery so as not to restrict the potential power from the alternator.
    It’s also recommended that you look at the negative lead from the battery and, if a four-gauge ground lead to the chassis isn’t present, create a four-gauge ground for it as well.
