Ok, I am hooking up a new amp in my system and moving it all to the back of the seat. I am going to have 2 amps, and a cap.

Atm I have 1 4awg ground connected to a Dist block. It then splits the ground into a 4awg and a 8awg. The 4awg going to the cap and 8awg going to the amp.

I was wondering if I should make a different ground for the 2 amps and the cap I plan to install, or just split up the 4 awg ground. in other words, 3 grounds or 1 thats split? If you need 3 grounds, can I ground them all to the same spot or do I need 3 different bolts and scraped paint spots?

Thanks

ground all three seperate but to the same ground spot on the chasis, that ground dist block is junk if it has a 4 ga in and out plus more, the rule is ground with the same guage as you power with so powering with a 4 ga and grounding with a 4 and 8 is over kill

There's no such thing as overkill Let me try to decipher Mr. MECP's wording. You'll want to keep the same spot for the ground for everything, either running multiple runs to the spot and bolting it down, or using a distribution block. Toss the cap out of the equasion, it's going to hurt you more than it helps. What amps are you running?

Atm just one, Alpine MRP-M450. But soon that one and a Power Acoustik SL4-680

So 3 different 4 guage grounds (or 2 w/o the cap) to the same spot?

They make distribution blocks that'll do multiple 4 gauge inputs and outputs.
