Default Distribution block, could it be limiting me?

I have my JBL 1200.1 and my Eclipse 120X4 running from the same distibution blocks, Positive and ground. (two seperate blocks)

When the bass is up i hear the 4 speakers cut out (decrease, fade in and out) on the beats. I think that I will run the power right to the battery, and then run the ground to a seatbelt bolt. What do you guys think?

Not enough info. What is the gauge of the run to the distribution block? What gauge is going to the amps? Do you have caps etc.

But making assumptions like that lead to too much typing.

I have a 1 farad digital cap, running 4 gauge to the block and 4 8's out. Two of the 8 gauges are running to processors that both have 3 amp fuses, so I don't think that they are sucking to much. I have a stock battery and a stock alternator

Before the block, I really should post some pics it looks sweet, I'll get on that.

I would make a second 4 gauge run. The 1200.1 needs one for itself.
