How to wire this...?

Ok basically I'm wiring 0 guage wire from my battery to my trunk...then after that I plan on using a fuse distribution block just like http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/PHOZBB34 ...then I'll run the 4 guage wire to my 2-3 amps...if this sounds correct so far...where would I put the 2 capacitors in that wire? before the distribution block or after? Also would just one 0 guage wire be enough because that distribution block can handle 3 0 guage wire inputs? thanks..

How many amps are you planning on using that you would need more than one 0 gauge cable? Also how much power do you think you will need to power them?

You wanna put the CAP(s) as close (min. wire length) to the amp as possible.

I'll have 2 amps and then maybe I plan on adding another 1....one of them will be 800 watts...the 2nd one will be 400-500 watts...

If you look in the manual of the amps it should tell you how many amps it pulls, that would tell you what size cable you need. I don't think you will even need a second cable unless you are running over 150 amps.
