2nd battery wiring problem

[khops 10+ year member]

i put my kinitek 2400 in just like kiniteks site tells me too,i put positive from the main battery to the 2400 with 1/0,and used 2 fuses like it says,and then i took 1/0 from negative of the main to the 2400. I then took another wire from the negative of the 2400 and grounded it,and from that ground I took another and put it into the ground spot on the amp.I added another wire to the positive of the2400 and ran it to the 12v spot on the amp. With this wiring my volts are going down more than they were with my kinitek hc 600,and my amp doesnt draw as many amps as my old 1 did either,my new amp is a mtx te-1500d and my old amp was a alphasonik pma1000hca

What's up with all the grounds for the battery? Why not ground the amp to the negative terminal of the Kinetic?

x3 on the grounds

And put a DMM on the 2400 and see what it's sitting it. Might just need to be charged...
