I was wondering if it was possible (or ok) to wire the cap in-line as opposed to seperately, like so:

   Fused dist block__________Cap___________Amp

opposed to:

                                    Fused dist block                                                                         

                   Amp_________T_________Cap

I tried to upload pics, but it didn't work so I hope this gives you an idea.  My main concern is the high current that'll be going through the wire (120 amps each cap).  If I wire the cap in-line by using a couple of rings on the positive terminal, will I be putting an excessive amount of current on the cap?  The manual shows the independent wiring (bottom pic), but I'd rather put them in-line beside each amp.  PLEASE HELP!!!

They are designed to be put in line beside each amp.

The capacitor goes to the B+ source, then to the B+ terminal of the AMP.

Thanks for the clarification!  I always thought it went in-line, but when the manual showed the cap branched out from the amp's 12V I had to make sure.  Thanks again.
