took this from crutchfield...this should help you out a bit
that pic uses a ground block..i have a cap installed as well.. i got my power going from battery to cap, and cap to MONO amp..and i grounded my 3 things..(cap, 4 chan, mono) to the same spot and it's been workin great, no hissing or anything from speakers..i dont like using ground blocks..if its not done right you can get gay *** noise through your speakers..if you can get a good ground point, it should be fine.. oh and if ur gonna buy a wiring kit that's fine, but if you decide to buy just cables and diy..don't get seperate fuses and distro blocks..get a fused distro block..you can get a knukoncepts for $20 from ebay..

Those diagrams help alot but you have 1 power wire to a distribution block wouldnt it be better to run 2 seperate wires instead of trying to powrr 2 amps through 1. Also I was told instead of hooking up a capacitor to change my BIG # wires with 0/1 guage wire and it will give alot more power then a capacitor will. Does anyone know a good online place to order power wire.

Eric, you might notice in the picture that it is a bigger wire before the fuse block, usually # 4 to 1/0, and smaller wire to each amp. I use 1/0 with a 100 amp fuse to a 4 way fuse bock, then # 6 to each amp. You can't fit 0 into most amps.
I also have my caps on the battery side of the fuse block so that all amps can benefit from the cap, not just the sub amps.
I have all the amp and cap grounds connected at the same point, but others say they should be grounded separately. Whatever works.
