lance_aka_64 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 you don't have to run a - all the way up front. just ground it like you ground your amp. unless you have money for another run of wire.

alvitae Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 If one amp takes 0awg and another 4awg, You can get a distribution block. Something along these lines maybe. Dist block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E a r t h Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 You can use 1/0 to 4 gauge reducers, if you don't want to do a run of 4 gauge for the small amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got_Bass89 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 You don't need any distro blocks.. Your back batter pretty much is a distro block... Wires off back batt to amp.. Don't matter what guage..

raytard Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 if you get a battery with the bolt type posts, this is super easy run 0g from front + to back battery, use a ring terminal to the bolt, from the same bolt, run wires to your amps, with whatever gauge wire and ring terminal they require. run a 0g ground from the negative terminal to the chassis, and then using the same guages and ring terminals, run ground lines to the amps. basically front batt to reaar, and rear to amps, so u have 3 terminals stacked on the bolt, and then chassis to neg, and then to neg of amps, so there is again, 3 stacked on the one bolt.
