Another small set-back...?

Post by baddog671 »

I just realized I need to do something about my ground cable. My power cable is 0 guage, which will be adapted into a 4 guage via dist. block shortly before my amp, but what should I do about the ground cable. Do they make a simple 0 to 4 converter so I can actually attach it to the RSd1200.1 ?

Thanks

not directly....but ultimately...your amp has a 4awg going into it. so grounding it with a 4awg is fine.

if you are really worried about it you can get a ground distribution block also.

Ive always though with multiple amps its makes yuour install look more symetrical using a ground block also. I cheaped out and got one thats ground and power. Less clutter for me.
