In any case, you are only supposed to tap only into the battery's positive terminal when powering an amplifier. The negative [ground] wire of the amp is bolted onto the nearest convenient grounding structure you can find. On my Pajero, the amp was grounded via one of the luggage hook bolts. I've never seen a sound system that was directly grounded back to the battery.

thanks sir! rewire ko na now..

Buhayin ko lang tong thread:

I have a second hand Kia Sedona 2004 model. I recently became aware that the battery installed is rated at 60AH when the manual specified that the battery should be 12v, 70AH.

I just installed a 9-inch monitorn on the ceiling so the kids can watch some movies and am planning on upgrading the sound system by installing an amplifier first. Better speakers would come in later. I'm also planning on installing brighter bulbs on the fog lamps.

Kaya bang hintaying ko na lang humina ang battery nito or should I replace it immediately?

I wanted to replace it since last month but my wife thinks that since there's no problem with the electricals yet, we should wait until the battery weakens.

What do you guys suggest?

^^your battery will die sooner than later. it would depend on you. kung ayaw mo ng hassle, much better to have it replaced now than to have it dead when you need to start it...
