[QUOTE="Papermaker85, post: 8635079, member: 572595"] try to break your questions up. the grounds aren't necessary if you have good chassis ground. what i mean is the chassis is the common or the MAIN ground where all the current flows to... so theoretically the chassis ground no matter where it is is fine UNLESS the chassis cannot support the current. if you want to play it safe ground the amp close to the amp and run one to the batterys ground. this will eliminate any "ground loops. A ground loop is Simpy when the current is trying to go to the chassis and the resistance is so high on the ground that it finds a ground through other components.. 2 2/0s are good for about 600 amps. more the better! i will use nothing but copper. its slightly more expensive but if you use aluminum battery terminals you might as well use aluminum wire. the distroblock will limit the ampacity.
