ground distribution

Post by waynehead »

So i think I have seen people using what looks like a distribution block on their grounds. I have always had trouble grounding everything in the same place. SO whats up is this doable, Is there somehting special i need whats up. All help very appreciated. I have always grounded everyrthing in different spots. :scratch:

I think I may have answered my own question. The website I am on has ground distribution blocks. Imagine that. I have tryed stacking things on a bolt or something into the frame but always had issues. I guess if its in a distro it takes the easiest path and goes to the chassis instead of looping back. Very cool. Did PG ever make ground blocks or maybe just use a regular one perhaps?

Any unfused distro block can be used as a ground block. :wink:

I have an old TI series ground dist block. It is shaped like a TI amp and has 2 - 0 awg inputs and 6 - 4 awg outputs. I am not using it and could part with it. I can post pics if you are interested.

its not in all that great of shape. It has some small rust spots on the cover, but the plexi and internals(the important stuff) looks almost new. I had considered either painting or polishing the cover to take care of the rust spots but it could also be re-brushed as there is no paint on the cover.

I have no idea what this would go for, never seen any others.

give me a few and I will post some pics, if he doesn't want it I will give you first dibs and move it over to the for-sale section as I am not going to use it someone else can.

have to reduce picture size... try email picture to yourself and make pic's smaller option when asked... or open with a picture viewing software and save with smaller spec's...

Thanks everyone.. I would like to have two of dem. I am sure ti is probably the closest thing to match the xenons. But I am also considering using a black basscube and my 215x which is black. Dont know what to do yet. Ive got to worry about getting a vehicle to fit a x1200.1 and 200.4 in first. My daily driver that I was going to throw everything in temporarily is getting some moisture in the trunk so I dont want anything in there I care much about. Right now there is a xs2300 running a sapphire 12 in like a 5cuft box lol and a POS targa 200 watt running a pair of 6 1/2's. Its totally ghetto but I dont know what else to do. I have the box pushed all the way back and the amps behind it against the seats so nothing gets wet but am still not sure I even want anything in there. :?
