Power wiring question.

I need help with my power wiring. I have a stinger 1 farad cap, 200 amp sting battery relay, and an optima yellow top battery. I was going to wire it like this, power from battery to 125 amp ANL fuse and holder, from fuse holeder to 200 amp stinger relay, from 200 amp relay to stinger 1 farad cap, from 1 farad cap to optima yellow top battery, from battery to fused distribution block, from fused block to both of my amps. Would this set-up be o.k. or does anyone have a better idea. Thanks.J. Mike Perkins

Switch the order on the battery and cap. Go like this, first the battery then the fused distribution block and then the cap.And put the cap as close as possible to the amps.

I've heard mixed things, but from what I've read having the cap after the distro-block is ok. Just make sure it's still within 3 feet of the amp. I was confused at first, but apparently you can run caps off a distro-block and then to ground, and even though it's not directly in-line with the amps, it still works (i.e. 4 way distro-block running 1 cap and 3 amps). I still don't fully understand it, so I keep mine inline with the amp I want using it (after the distro-block).Squirrel
