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.
