[QUOTE="NickCR, post: 1571590, member: 563113"] Thanks for both of your answers. I think both of you have posted some good answers. The first about the 2 pre-outs form the H/U. I agree and I will do that for sure. Now I was a little confussed as to why you would want me to remove the CAP. I understand that caps are to reduce the load on the battery (in one jolt) and reduces the dimming of lights, which was my problem and the reason I installed it in the first place. I completely agree that I should have a "Distribution Block" after the CAP to the amps so that i'm not "Joining" wires. I will install 4 awg wires to my CAP, then 4 awg to the distribution block, then 4 awg to each AMP. I have 2 AMPs for my SUBs, one for each SUB. Ice what you think about that, would that be a good solution for my "subs"? I'll be sure to take your suggestions about the bolt vs screw for the "GROUND" and also the CAP 2 AMP distance will also be a good time to address. I might even upgrade to 2 awg wires to the CAP so that if I ever upgrade my system (quite possible) then I won't have issues with the wires. Additionally with the 8 awg I already have running front to back i'll keep that installed only for the speakers and run it seperately from the CAP. Yeah I don't think I have near enough fuse power. My fuse I have is 30A and only one of my amps has 35A fuse. If I add them up. 35+35+30 I should have at least 100A, no wonder they keep popping like pop-corn. Again thanks in advance. Nick [/QUOTE]
