I need some assistance for wiring up a amp in my camry. I've been told that leaving the battery unhooked for so long causes the airbags to need re-calibration or something on those lines. How can i get around that, or isnt that true?
What would you splice the power into? With the amount of power the amp needs, you're likely to damage the wiring of whatever you might be splicing it into.
The best way is to wire the positive directly to the battery, with an inline fuse ofcourse, and then the gound to the chasis.
ok i got the wiring down now........But i've heard that leaving power(battery) un-hooked for so long causes the airbags to need resetting..so how can i get around that?
No such thing. It resets your radio and clock and ecu, nothing else. you are supposed to unhook the battery when working with electronics. Saves the air bag from uselessly inflating and wasting 5 to 10k of your money to replace it.

so when i unhook the battery and leave it unhooked for a short while. The air bag light isnt going to stay on or no bulshite like that? Cause i thought it was a farfetched idea cause that means you'd have to have the airbags reset if that was true more than once while owning your car and working on it.
most guides recomend unpluging for the safety of the airbag (from accidently inflating)

See i knew it, i knew the battery should be unhooked..but i was just wondering if anyone has heard that before. I guess not..my uncle told me(he works at a dealership bodyman) apparently some dickweed told him some Bs story. Alright thanks for your input cause i just needed to figure out if that was infact true or not, so i dont have to worry about fricking with that now.

Yeah, total BS. I've left my battery unhooked for an entire weekend or longer without any problems.

Unhooking the battery will prevent any possible damage to the airbag system and prevents you from getting shocked. Your battery has more than enough power to kill you.
If unhooking the battery in your car causes your airbag system to go crazy, your car is fuxed up.
BTW, airbag is about $500-$1000 to replace. At least they were on the mid-90s Dodge minivans.

Grounding to the chassis is the same as grounding directly to the battery (so long as it is a secure connection), as almost everything in a car has the negative (power feed/input) line attached directly to the frame at some point, and only the positive (return feed) line attached directly to the battery. Why use extra wires when you've got one giant conductor at your disposal.

That would work, but you should preferably find a place in the trunk where some other wire is already attached to the frame (perhaps the tail lights) so that you know the connection is reliable. You can always make your own, but then you have to most likely drill a hole and sand off paint, then bolt the wire on, which you may not want to do.

The negative terminal on the battery is connected to the chasis. So by connecting the ground on your amp to the chasis, you are connecting it to the negative terminal, albeit indirectly.
When you connect the amp to the chasis, sand off the paint for a good connection.
