grounding
 
couple questions bout grounding three amps. Currently using a single point at the rear deck support-area free of paint and used ring terminal 1/0 gauge wire- then all amps connect to that wire in a more central location.
Or should I ground each amp at it's own location?

ground distubution blocks are an easy way to do a nice clean job with your ground wires.

Con: Using more than 1 point opens up the potential for the dreaded "ground loop" ....something you just don't want to deal with.....:smokin:

As long as they all ground at the same location, using a distro block just makes it look better.
