However, the ground from the battery lead to the chassis point near said battery is showing 2 ohms. Now this cable going from the battery to the chassis is all stock. The only additional wiring is the positive to the amp and the ground for the amp, both 4 gauge and as short as I can run them.

Has anyone else noticed their stock grounding cable showing such resistance in our cars? I'm sure I could simply add an additional 4 gauge wire from the battery to the chassis, but it just seemed odd.
I always wondered why Cusco make grounding kit for this car.
