A quick Q for the stereo gurus and pro installers:
 

I had one amp. Wired positive (fused of course) to my stereo battery's pos. terminal and negative to my stereo battery's neg. terminal. The battery is literally a foot from the amp, and the wire runs are very short.

I'm now adding a second amp. Aside from aesthetics, is there a reason I need to run power and ground distro blocks or can I just wire up a second fused power lead and second ground lead to the same terminals on the stereo battery?

You can run the leads straight to the battery terminals no problemo.

straight to the battery is my choice
