what do u mean use it for ground? the distrobution block goes onto the + wire not the - one.

Im going to connect three ground wires to the distrobution block (input) then im goin to connect one to a grounding terminal. The reason im asking is because iI can get a fused one for the same price as nonfused

i believe u should ground all 3 seperately...but i may be wrong. And if not...i do no see a need for you to have a fuse in your ground wire. you have one in your power wire so if its drawing too much power....the one on your power wire will blow. theres no need to blow 2 fuses, it will just cost u more $$$

You sure better hope you DONT blow one of those fuses in the ground box you thinking of using. If that happends, take pics, I want to see the damage, if I can underneath all of the black, burnt wires and components.

I don't know exactly what the 'ground loop' noise thing is, but I wonder if that can be caused/avoided by a ground distro block.. If there is no 'problem' from using a distro for ground, it kinda makes sense and would help the system look pretty (if your stuff is that visable).. only one wire/hole to punch for ground but all components have ground... Hmm... *thinks he might have to do that*

Can someone that knows let me know if having all the grounds in a distro and going out on one wire to chasis would cause noise? Or what causes ground loop noise? TIA //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

don't get the fused. If you do thouhg, get the biggest **** fuses you can fit it so none of them blow for some weird f**** reason. Plus, you want to ground them to the same ground to avoid noise pick-up.
