Good point about the OE factory common speaker ground..

Note that if U add an aftermarket amplifier be sure to use ungrounded speakers & wiring. Most likely the aftermarket amplifier has internal bridging circuit as to obtain higher power output.. Whenever an amplifier is bridged all speaker output terminals are above ground, if an output terminal is grounded the amplifier will likely shut down and/or damage may occur..
