Grounding
Seems most ground the power cable neg to the battery. BT instructions have the power grounded under the fairing:
"Connect Ground Wire (4) It is good practice to keep ground wires short and try to tie amp and radio ground to the same physical location. Electraglide: Use ground screw on top triple-tree clamp. Roadglide: Use radio box stud."
Which way to go and why?

I also go directly to the battery, or to the frame grounding screw that is directly in front of the battery box on the 2015 up Rushmore bikes. It's the same post that the battery has a ground lead to.

I'm assuming I have a ground issue. Originally I was getting some serious engine noise so i ran a direct ground from the anp to the neg post of the battery. It helped but still not where it needed to be. Only other thing I could think of was the ground coming out of the scosche handlebar control module. Path of least resistance mentality I put an eyelet on it and connected to the neg post on the amp. Something tells me this isnt such a good idea either. Suggestions?
