psx2p Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 is it wise to have multiple components hooked up to a distro block which is then grounded? if not whats your preferred grounding method? 01 GMC Sonoma 4x4 RF T1500.1bd DC LVL 4 12" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssKicker Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 You want to ground the exact same as your power runs are. For example: 2 runs of power, 2 runs of ground or If you power is through a distro as well, match that exact thing and ground. I prefer this method.

jizazz12 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 how much power are you running? if it's 5-800 watts 4 gauge would be OK but if your running more than that you should have 0/1 gauge on it. 2007 Chevy Impala LS 1 Crescendo 3KWP 1Crescendo C1000/4 2 DC lvl 4 15's with lvl5 dual .7 coils 1Audio Control Matrix 1 Pioneer P880PRS 1 300 amp Iraggi alt All power runs done with Knu flex 0/1 guage 1 optima yellow top under the hood 1 XS 5100 and two Deka's in the trunk 4 Crescendo MP-8 mid bass drivers 2 DB Drive p5 5 D Pro Audio tweeters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainzPlanetz Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I would trust quality 4 gauge up to around 1500rms, given it is less than around 17-18ft. long. ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............
