Default need advice on wiring cap!

hey yall, i have looked at posts concerning wiring a cap and they all say different things, so my question is, what is the best/easiest way to do it? i was thinking of running the power wire directly to the cap from the batery and then running another cable from the cap to the amp......... i heard someon say that it will be realy tough to get both 4AWG terminals onto the cap screw, is this true? also, do i ground the amp ground to the cap, or do i ground the amp to the chassis? thanks!

I always run the cap in parallel to the power wires to the amp.

2 + and 2 - wires.

its not that hard, my cap has 1" bolts, and the terminals i used are less than 1/8" thick
