I'm installing 2 amps, one for sub and one for cockpit speakers. I ran the the 4 guge power wire already but i had an idea with the ground that i'm not sure if it would work.
I'm going to put the amps in the closet next to the aft cabin. In that closet there is the power wires running to my windlass, which are also 4 guage. I was thinking of cutting the ground wire and linking it into a amp capacitor. Then i would be able to run the ground for the amps right from the capacitor. Is it a good idea to cut in to that ground and have it be shared with the windlass and the amps??? I'm going to have a capacitor either way before the amps so i was thinking that would keep a shorter ground wire and i would not have to run a seperate one ran so far back to the battery.
