@DarquePervert

Thanks for the info. I was thinking about doing the distro block for my grounding but since the PSU and amplifier aren't near each other I didn't want those wires going long distance (trying to keep them as short as possible).

@lbridges

1. So it sounds like this isn't necessary but it could help with reducing voltage drops and less strain on the vehicle's charging system (via Big 3 thread).

2. Hopefully I won't have the ground loop issues but if that is the case then it sounds like I will have to rethink the location of my amplifier and PSU. I guess if this is the case then I could get the distro block and ground everything in one central location.

3. Ok, I was just wondering. Maybe I'll hold onto the extra 12 awg and get some 16 awg which might be a little easier to feed around the vehicle.

Thanks much!
