I'm running 4 separate amps to 16 pioneer 10's and i was wondering since i plan on running a distrbution block to the 4 amps. my question is can i run a distrbution block from my grounds to a main ground or should i run 4 separate grounds?

Using a distro on the grounds would be fine... -------------  Making the World A Louder Place

I personally would run 4 seperate grounds, but some people would contradict that, some prefer distribution blocks, its up to you. Just make sure you have good connections, and ground to bare metal. -------------

You can go through the dist. block, but try and keep all your grounds as short as possible. ------------- Nik

For that much power I would reccomend using a distro block (unfused) with dual 1/0 outputs ran directly to the battery.

Be shure its NOT a fused disto block. Only use a sold disto block for grounds

how would i relay the remote wirs? what i wanted 2 do is run toggle switches to the amps so i can listen 2 just a couple. for example 1 amp to 4 speakers so i can listen to 4 or 8 or 12 or 16. ------------- panasonic-8300
