[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 2417963, member: 561023"] 1) I do not personally know that it should make much difference placing it either before or after a fused distro... [I]unless ~[/I] The usage of the capacitor is meant for only one of your amps as opposed to all of them. If this is the case placing the cap before the distro will cause everything [I]after[/I] the distro to draw energy from it and I do not know if this is your intent from the limited info you've provided to this point. 2) Every piece of aftermarket electrical gear I currently have in my trunk (two amps, three neon lightbars, and a couple of other things) are all grounded to the same location as they are all fed by my ground distro block which, obviously, is only grounded to a single location. No adverse affects thus far (over three years on the same basic install) so I'll wager there isn't going to be. In other cases the results may vary so bear in mind I am speaking only from personal experience rather than an attempt to pass along info that is merely "accepted wisdom" on the subject. [/QUOTE]
