[QUOTE="alago, post: 4052886, member: 586172"] This is my first post on this forum... first of many, hopefully. I just got a hold of a bunch of stuff that I am planning on installing, and I wanted to make sure all the wiring was okay. [LIST] [*]JL 500/1 [*]JL 10w7 in 1.25 cubes [*]PPI PC450 [*]Scotche 1 Farad Cap [/LIST] Now, tell me if this sounds acceptable: Battery Terminal Post with 2 gauge wire running to distribution block in the trunk, 4 guage from distribution block to each amp (fused), and 4 guage local grounding for each amp... 1. Should I run a ground distribution block or should I go with local grouding? 2. What size fuses should I be considering for each 4 guage line to the amps? 3. Is the 1 farad Cap necessary or should I consider going with something like the Kinetic? Any and all advice is appreciated. Frankly, I haven't done car audio since high school and I feel like it has changed a plenty. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
