ok here are my thoughts, you can check my crappy pic and see if you agree...
Basically i mentioned in another thread i am gonna upgrade to a bigger amp and a kicker L7.
I currently have an optima yellow top and a 1.2 farad cap and this weekend i am going to upgrade "the big 3" and remaining engine grounds. My question is if the pic i have provided will be an ok way to wire my new system. Since i got a little extra cash i want to upgrade my sub for some SPL and then my interior stuff for a little SQ. I have a 4 gauge wire going to the trunk- with a distribution block up front with an 8 gauge wire that splits off onto a bunch or 14/16/18 gauge wires for my neons, 12V accesories, gauges and such- nothing to largely powered...
my main question is will i be ok around my capactior if i run a 4 gauge power to it along with a 4 gauge ground off, then have a 4 gauge wire to my bass amp and an extra 8 gauge wire going to the smaller amp for my 4 interior speakers... also would it be a good idea to add an extra fuse before each amp off of the capacitor?
Thanks for any comments, i have been reading online @ some of the sites I have found from other posts and I think things are fine, i just don't wanna create any fires and you guys seem to be good audiofiles

FYI- bass amp- 600 watt RMS stable @ 2 ohms, 1 4-ohm DVC sub wired down to 2 ohms
interior speaker amp-50 or 75 watt X 4 RMS... haven't decided if i even want to buy one yet- just researching ahead of time
