Question Question about grounding

I have three things I need to ground (2 amps and a cap.) The problem is that it is going to be hard to get proper grounds for each of the three. I was wondering would be ok to use a grounding lug and combine all three grounds into one? Or would be better to ground each one individually?

Thanks,

Chris

It's a decent ground if you do it right,but,scrape off the paint around the seatbelt bolt.You can use those on each of the rear sestbelts for a rear ground.Just make sure you get solid contact with no paint under between the two metals.

ALWAYS ground your amps, EQ's, etc. to the same spot. This helps to prevent ground loops.
