Default optima yellowtop question

hey guys, i just installed the optima yellowtop battery in my vette, and the 2 sets of posts got me thinkin...where should the power wire for my amps be hooked up to? right now it is attached to the top of the fuse block...i was wondering if there was a better place to attach it (like the top + post on the battery)? any insight? thanks

it was attached to the fuse block from when my original system was installed at the shop. the + lead from the battery attaches to the fuse block in the engine compartment by a bolt and the + lead going to my stereo is attached to that same bolt.
so if this is wrong, can i connect it to the unused top + battery terminal or does it matter? :confused:
