A continuity test only proves point a and b work and that there is no short if you go to ground ... We ground 12v dc on airframes . Cars aren't a big deal .. So the fact that you are gonna run a negative from the battery is really dumb, no offense, unless you got monster Earthquake amps pushing well over 200Amps, I pushed my car to 150 amps with stock battery and that's when my lights starting dimming

yeah when I ran two batteries I grounded the battery in the trunk to multiple grounding locations within <3ft. Also had all 3 amplifiers grounded separately. Possibly overkill but my amplifiers totaled about 230 amps, and killed my first alternator before I added the battery.

That was back in my first car when I LOVED boom.
