I have two amps, cap and one electronic crossover, my both amps & cap is 8 guage for ground. My electronic crossover is just like speaker wire type, like 20 or something.

Should i run all ground wires to my ground dristribution block?

My ground excepts 4 8 gauge output and 4-8 guage output. If i do, what should i use 4 or 8 guage? Or should i just run my amps and cap, not the electronic crossover?

Does the ground wire needs to be a certain length to the ground distribution block?

If so, how long, my amps are like 2ft apart and my electronic crossover is 3 ft away from the amps or less, the cap is close to the amp.

Thanks!

 
I would run 8 gague from the amps and X-over to the block and then run 4 gague from the block to where ever you plan on grounding it in the car. I don't think that the length matters. As for the cap, I'm not to familiar with, I run a battery in my trunk and find a ground for it; seperate from the amp ground. If a cap is similar, I would do the same thing.

I'm guessing that's what it is. There's not a lot of room back there.
