Hello,

I'm hooking up 3 amps.

Can I daisy-chain the ground wire, or does each amp need its own ground wire?

Thanks.

Thanks, speed.

Yes, I'll be using the same ga. and about a 12in run.

But why the separate grounds - will not doing so pick up noise?

low resistance. it will help make the amps run cooler, help with noise, and sound better. it's worth it trust me.
