Run wire from battery to cap (don't hook it up to the battery), take the wire that comes off the otherside of the cap and put it into distribution block. Now wire your amps from the other parts of the distribution block.

It is simple most blocks go from one 4ga in to 2 or 3 8ga out. you really can't hook it up wrong because the block isn't grounded and the power flows across the entire block.

if the distribution block is fused then make sure you have the correct fuses on the correct output wires and your done.

Are you sure this is the right way because I was told differently last night. I have 2 (4) gauge wires coming from my battery into the block that splits it into 4 and from there 2 go to the cap and 2 go to the amps. Middle 2 to the amps, and outer 2, (postive and negative) go to their respective posts on the cap. Is this right?

This is what the stinger box had written on the back.

that is fine -- as long as you are using only 1 distro block for
all those power wires

generally-
keep your capacitors as close in powerline as possible to the amp

also if possible

use a common ground
