[QUOTE="s1ctech, post: 6421596, member: 610982"] Ok first time with a batcap. I have a 1500d or 2000d sundown amp coming some time. A Alpine 350w amp for speakers. Just bought a batcap and a 1/0 gauge kit.... waiting on some 0 gauge terminals. Everything will be in 1ohm btw. Now. I get how to do most of the whole thing. Qustion 1: do I need to ground the amp too the neg side of the batcap or can I just ground the amp to the car? Which is better what is safer? I heard I should also fuse the batcap to the amp as well?. 2. Can I use the batcap sorta as a distro block? Like wire the alpine speaker amp too it? As well as the sundown? The alpine is already wired with 4gauge to the batt from my old setup, but i want to get rid of that 4 gauge. I really don't know how I can wire my sundown amp with 0 gauge AND the alpine amp because every distro block I see is 0 gauge input too 4 gauge outs. 3. IF I use the batcap as a distro block of sorts. Would I just wire the amps pos and neg too it? and then run a lead ground off that batcap in to the car? OR just run the amps grounds all separate into the car and run the neg side of the batcap to the car as well? Thanks, I am going big this time and I don't wanna ruin anything, Kill the batcap or kill the amps. I just remember everyone telling me all different things. [/QUOTE]
