Hello everyone.

This is my first post here. I joined yesterday. I have a quick about setting up 2 amps, 1 cap, and 1 distribution block.

I currently have:

-1 amp
-1 cap

I have another amp coming my way soon. I want to know how I need to wire the power wires. This is what I think I need to do, but I'm not sure.

+ wire from battery to cap, then +wire from cap to distribution block, and then +wires from block to each amp.

is that correct?? Someone please confirm that I'm correct or not. If I don't have it right, please inform me on how it should be setup.

Thanks, Phu.

Most blocks have more than 1 connection point on the input side.
I bought my main power wire direct to the block, then a short wire to the + of each cap. This saved a double connection on the caps and the block was made for triple connections.
