[QUOTE="blarg456, post: 8649908, member: 675306"] Sup folks, Long time basshead and finally installing a real system in my 05 Silverado ext cab. I thought I had everything figured out but I have run into more questions than answers. Here is a run down of most of what I'm installing. 2 Orion HCCA 15's 2 Orion XTR 2500.1D 1 XS Power D3400 2 XS Power XP3000 Mechman 370a alt Basically i'm stuck at how to wire everything up. I got the batteries all wired in parallel with double runs of 2/0 copper welding cable. Now should I wire each amp to it's own battery or use distribution blocks? Should I ground the amps to the batteries, distro block or to the body/frame? Also since I have two positive wires running to the back, would it be better to run a wire to each positive terminal in the back so they charge evenly? Just trying to make sure things get wired up correctly before this thing goes live. Any input would be greatly appreciated, Thanks! [/QUOTE]
