awesome, so just to be 100% sure it is OK to just run two ring terminals under that same 100a fuse input link correct? and i gotta buy that m6x1.0 bolt or something as well and i'm set? would, i still need to use that additional ground wire that came with the amplifier kit?

or is the oe ground good enough since i'm running it off the fusebox instead of just making an independent run.

umm, oh yea my bad hehe my amplifier is a 4 way, diamond audio 4 x 150 so it's 600 hehe not that 800 that i said before.

just need these two q's answered

1. is it ok to run two ring terminals off that 100a fuse input
2. do i need to make one more ground? or is the oe ground sufficient

thank you so much really appreciate it.

It's fine. You can steal a bolt anywhere on your car, virtually any bolt with a 10MM head is an M6x1.0 thread.

You will ground the amp where it's mounted, not to the battery. Find a bolt that goes into the chassis, remove it, scrape away the paint around to get a good connection, then secure the ground lead there.

is it ok to use a copper 4 gauge ring terminal? or will it go melt on me, or should i use an aluminum one.

thanks again.

Any kind of ring is fine. You're not welding with it. If a copper ring would melt, so would the copper wire.
