Is This Sufficient?

Like I've mentioned before, I'm new to using Caps. Common sense leads me to believe I'm okay with this wiring, but I want to run it by you guys before I committ.

-1/0 GA from battery to dist. block

-1/0 GA from dist. block to KX1200.1

-4 GA from dist. block to KX450.2

-4 GA from dist. block to 1.2 Farad cap

I realize the Cap will be connected to my mid amp as well, but do you folks see any real problems with this wiring method?

I've considered using 1/0 between the cap and dist. block, but it basically comes down to looks right now. I think I'll try the 4 GA between them first. If it doesn't work out, I have plenty of 1/0 to switch to.

Yeah, I have the proper fuses. I have a 200A ANL fuse to place on the 1/0 near the battery and a 150A ANL fuse that was supplied with the KX1200.1. I just left that out so it wouldn't get confusing. The KX450.2 has two built-in fuses and it shouldn't draw enough amps to warrant an additional fuse on that 4 GA power wire from the block.
