i'd run the ground wire from each amp to the same ground point. less likely to get unwanted noise that way. |

So one vote for seperate ground points, one vote for common ground points. Anyone else care to chime in? |

Use another distribution block to get both your ground points to come together to one wire. Then bolt that one wire directly to a suitable grounding point.
If you have one ground point then it lessens the chances of having a "ground loop" that could introduce alternator whine into your speakers. This would sound like humming or a high-pitched whine coming through your speakers when you accelerate. |
