That's more than enough to cover two amps, and yeah - go with a distribution block.

Default As far as wiring, I *think* you run the power wire directly to the cap,

then split the cap power wires to the amps.

The ground- you ground it direct to chassis-no splitting to the amps. They get grounded seperately.

I think this is how I did it (5 years ago).

Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm doing my system in 1-2 months and I want it done right.
