BboyTaktix Posted July 7, 2010 Report Posted July 7, 2010 Hey guys, Well, my build is going well but long. I'm looking to run a 4channel(150RMSx4) and a mono amp(1550RMS), I bought a fused distribution block to go from 0 gauge to two 4 gauge power wire for amps (130A fuses each). The 0 gauge will be coming from a cap, which will be connected to battery (I know I know don't tell me get rid of cap) My question is how can I ground my amps and cap? Do I have to ground the cap then buy another distribution block to run both amp grounds to the cap ground terminal, or can Just groundthe cap, then ground the two amps on the car's body? Right now I have the cap grounded, and my mono amp's ground and power wires are both connected to the cap terminals. (wired in parallel I guess right?)

EclipseChris Posted July 7, 2010 Report Posted July 7, 2010 Yes you can ground them all to the car, even if you put a distro block its all going to the same place. i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback.
BboyTaktix Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Posted July 7, 2010 That's what I assumed, just wanted to double check.

BboyTaktix Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Posted July 7, 2010 Oh and get rid of the cap lmao Haha thx Roscoe! For the moment it is staying, and then I'm gonna grab a second battery, but still probably keep the cap. Good voltage indicator and it looks pretty 2018 Golf R - Stealth SQ system build - C508GTI front (active), 2x Pioneer Z10LS4, Zapco DSPZ8, Clarion DPX11551 (Mono amp), Pioneer GM-D8604 (front stage amp), Pioneer GM-A3702 (rear fill amp) SOLD! 2011 Subaru STI - 'modest' passive sq system - JBL p660c component (front) JBL P662 (rear) JBL W10GTI (sealed enclosure) 4ch JBL GO1004 (150RMSx4), Clarion DPX11551 mono amp (+-1200RMS@3ohms)

Ground everything individually id say, and move the cap between the distro block and the subs amp jst my opinion Live life to the full... Then TURN THAT BITCH UP!
BboyTaktix Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Posted July 7, 2010 Ground everything individually id say, and move the cap between the distro block and the subs amp jst my opinion Great idea! Thought bout that the other day actually. Saves me a lot if 0 gauge wire as well. Brilliant! And as usual your comments are all great, I appreciate the help!!! 2018 Golf R - Stealth SQ system build - C508GTI front (active), 2x Pioneer Z10LS4, Zapco DSPZ8, Clarion DPX11551 (Mono amp), Pioneer GM-D8604 (front stage amp), Pioneer GM-A3702 (rear fill amp) SOLD! 2011 Subaru STI - 'modest' passive sq system - JBL p660c component (front) JBL P662 (rear) JBL W10GTI (sealed enclosure) 4ch JBL GO1004 (150RMSx4), Clarion DPX11551 mono amp (+-1200RMS@3ohms)
