doin it right?

[TwistedSkipper]

I have an Arcaudio 4150cxlr, and a Arcaudio xdi650.1. My concern is addressing a problem before I have one!!! Does iy make sense to run 4 guage ground straight from the negative bat terminal, to a distribution block to ground my amps?

No.

Where's the battery, and where are the amps located?

If it's a typical under the hood battery and the amps are in the trunk, no.
If it's something like an equinox where the battery is under the rear floorboard, and the amps are going under the rear seat, yes. Similar example would be a BMW or Mopar sedan with the battery in the trunk, and amps going in the trunk. In those cases, it makes perfect sense to run an amp ground to the battery.

I don't see the point of a ground distribution block.
