Grounding wires?

Ground each seperately

The only problem with the picture above though is that you want to match your power and ground wire guage,  I hope with three amps and one cross over you are running more than 8 guage.  you can find dist. blocks to split bigger wire, but I think that one above is a 4 guage input and 4;  8 guage outputs.           Ryan

street wires makes a distro block  that can accommodate a 4 guage or 2 guage wire this may be the one but even still if sador is only running 3 amps close to this distro block with 4 guage or whatever from the battery and then breaking it down to 4 small sections of 8 guage this is  fine being that the current capacity of the 8 guage will be higher if the run is shorter. Besides that his amp may only take an 8 guage wire an this would be fine. Sador your ground will will have the same current flowing through as the main power wire so if a 4 guage was run from the battery a 4 gauge can be connected to ground. and with a  distro block the current is divided amongst the components so 8 guage will be ok  to go a close run to the amps.

Oh yeah a 4 guage can acomidate up to about 140 amps of current so if you add your current draw all together and you are within this range you are ok.

Thahk you guys,I,m using a Dist. block (1)4 guage in and 4(8)guage out.

WHOA THERE GUYS!!!!No no no, Always ground each respective device to the chassis independently. I speak from experience here, i had a setup where my 2 amplifiers were grounded through a block to the chassis, and i had many many MAJOR power problems. Always ground each piece independently Especially the Cap from the amps. Just FYI, I had one ZX1000 and one XR460 Kicker amplifier connected through the block, I had Headlight dimming problems, alternator charging problems, and even once in a while, the entire car would "reset" guages, heater and everything immediately after a large bass hit. I rewired the car to individual grounds per piece and suddenly, the alternator started charging properly. The Cap should be grounded as close to the cap as possible, and each amp should be grounded as close to each respective amp as possible. Owner/Installer

Kicker in a Convert!! YAY!!

Huh, i never had that problem before or heard this before oh well. leaves me something to think about.
