[QUOTE="HawaiianHaole, post: 386907, member: 552120"] I was going to get a ground dist block for my two amps, and then decided that I could just get a ring terminal and bolt them in the same place. I have had a little change of plans and want to leave one amp under the seat and have the sub amp in the trunk. So can I bolt the ground for each amp in two seperate locations close to the respecitve amp, rather than running the ground to a common location and the risk of the wire being more than a few feet? When I hear that ground wire should be the same as power wire, this only implies to the wire which actually goes in and out of the amp. I am starting with 0/1 guage at the battery, eventually finishing with 4 ga to one amp and 8 ga to the other. I plan on using 4 ga ground on the first amp and 8 ga ground on the second amp. This is correct, right? [/QUOTE]
