[QUOTE="KaeZoo, post: 897018, member: 554753"] It looks little flaky, but there's no reason why it won't work. In theory, the closer your capacitor is to your amplifiers, the better, so it makes sense they'd put it between the d-block and the amps. Personally, I wouldn't run grounds back to the cap; I'd ground the two amplifiers and the capacitor separately. The fact is, as long as the cap is wired in parallel you can hook it up any way you like. The only "rule" is not to put so much resistance between the cap's positive terminal and the amp's terminal that you lose whatever dubious benefit the capacitor is supposed to be providing in the first place. Beyond that, you can connect it to the distribution block, use it as a distribution block, connect it on separate wire direct to the amp's positive terminal, or whatever. It's all parallel; the order of the components in the power wire line doesn't matter. [/QUOTE]
