here is it . would you run 2pic of 0g wire form your Battery to a PG powergrid +/- then 4g to your amps ?
or
would you run one 0g wire (+) to the powergrid and ground the powergrid to the car. run the ground wire of the amps to the powergrid?
or
would you run one 0g wire (+) to the powergrid and ground the powergrid to the car. run the ground wire of the amps to the car?
why is one better the othere

Copper is a better conducter than steel. So if you have the cable to do it, run both positive and ground from the battery to your junction block.

ok it looks like TANTRUM 300.2
----------------------------
but it is a 10f cap with 2 DISTRIBUTION BLOCKS in it 1+ & 1-
so you can run 0g wire to it (+/-)then you can run 4g or 8g out of the 4ports each side
look here

I don't like running the ground all the way back to the battery but that is just my opinion.
If one was really concerned about how good the ground plane of the car is I would consider running 0ga from the Powergrid to the floor/frame in the back of the car, then a 0ga from that spot to the frame under the hood and then 0ga from that spot on the frame to the battery.

You should just upgrade the ground strap from your battery to the car. Then run your fused power line from your battery to your amps/pwr blocks. Your amps should be grounded to the car not the battery. This is done for the reason that if the Battery's ground at the car should ever let go and you have you system grounded to the Battery, the whole car's elecrical system could feed back through you audio system.....this would be a very very bad thing. Becuase a Cap in a sense is a Battery, you will need to ground the Cap directly to the car at a seperate piont from your Amps to avoid any feed back.
