I did some testing on my grounds last night
Batt to Frame....001 ohms
Batt to Altrinator....6.0 ohms
Batt to Body.....7.1 ohms
Batt to ground distro block....7.1 ohms
Im going to run new wire to the block, and one to a specified ground spot on the body....I already upgraded my ground to the frame with 4 gauge before the meatering, but it didnt help much. I have some problems with alt sound when my deak is on, but no sound it playing. as soon as you turn the deak on on, like radio on, not just the clock...the sound goes away. I regrounded the radio, and grounded the shields of the RCA's and that didnt help much. any other ideas?

those numbers sound really high.... how exactly did you measure your resistance from say battery to ground distro block?

I measured it with some 12 gauge primary wire...that had a resistance of about .003 ohms
