2 Amps - Same Groundng Point?

[Fixxxer]

Hey guys, just wanted to verify with someone else that I am correct.

I am changing my mates amp from a 4 channel (broken) to two x 2 channel amps.

I am buying a distribution block for the power wire (4ga in) (2x8ga out) to supply power.

Without having to rip up carpet, I'm just going to get another distribution block to GROUND both amps. I'm pretty sure that there is nothing wrong with having the two amps grounding at the same point.

Correct?

Why would u need a distro for the ground? Just find a good secure grounding point on the chassis/body, sandpaper off the paint in the area if any. Would be better if u grounded at different points for each amp but shouldn't pose a problem if u cant.

That's the thing, it looks like accessing another grounding point is a lot more work than just attaching it to the one that is already there.

I'll go in for a closer inspection and see if I can easily ground it separately, otherwise I'm going to go with the grounding it at the same point.

Thanks for verifying.

No expert with audio but a continuous earth is gonna be better than one with joins in it. Even if it is a distro block>

We tend to run an earthing kit at the front of the car which makes the cars body a much stronger earth. We then earth the amplifiers at different points to allow more current to flow across the threads...

Thanks for all the replies.

Will see what I can do to make it the best setup.
