Default Grounds. OverKill? Location?

Im swapping in a sohc zc into my crx and am also doing a pretty large dual 1000 watt amp system + a few other high power drawing items. Would it hurt to use 4ga wire on all 3 grounds on my ef? Like it doesnt hurt it right? I have a lot left over and just want to make use of it. Thought this would be a good time

Also does anyone have a diagram on where all the grounds are on a sohc zc? Only one Ive ever really seen and noticed was the one from the valve cover

Thanks

There are 3 stock grounds...

Valve Cover > Chassis
Neg Bat Post > Chassis > Tranny
Wiring Harness > Thermostat

You can't really replace the thermostat ground since it is inside a wiring harness, I wouldn't touch it.

I upgraded my grounds in my prelude to 8 AWG with brass ends. I noticed more solid starts and my dash lights seemed brighter at night. In any case it really can't hurt to upgrade from those old stock grounds.

That is something I always do when I buy a new car.
Its a good cheap improvment so why not do it.
