[QUOTE="s3th, post: 8071695, member: 650714"] I am to the point where I am preparing myself for a lot more power after I figure out placement and get money for a bigger amps and more speakers, more batteries, etc. I have a few questions. What is the difference between a Distro block and a Bus bar, are they considered the same thing, from my knowledge a distro block takes a wire and split its into multiple sizes for multiple amps, is this a bad thing? If my power wire goes from the battery pos to the distro then splits to two different amps will that cause the voltage to be split unevenly amongst the two? Are bus bars used just for power or grounds as well? If I have multiple batteries do they all ground to the same spot? Whats another way of grounded your amps/batteries besides the chassis, can you run those into a bus bar then ground the bus bar somehow? Lastly what does it mean to have multiple runs of wire, I hear people say 2 or 3 runs of power or ground wire? Does that mean one battery pos terminal will have 2 or more wires going to the alternator? Can anyone clear all this stuff up for me please, I am trying my best to find my own answers but sometimes you just have to ask to get a better picture. [/QUOTE]
