Hey Guys have done a search but can't seem to locate anything specific, can someone provide some advice as to the best place to earth an accessory, for example I have fitted the uhf to a roof console and ran the earth cable back with the power cable but as both positive and negative terminals are getting a little overloaded I have heard that you're best to earth an accessory close by it to prevent too much voltage drop and then someone else advises its best to run everything back to the battery any help please?

I think the "best" way is to Earth it back to the battery, but that's not always necessary, obviously the original wiring goes to various Earth points around the Vehicle. if going back to the battery is too hard then I would look for a factory Earth point to add your accessories to.

As for your positive terminal being overloaded with wires, here's what I did to help that out http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...l=1#post270167 You could easily do similar for the Earth as well.
