Assuming you're correct and the black wire is the power return, you don't need to connect it to a Spike at all. You can wire it directly to a black terminal on the Power Distribution Board. Or you can wire it to one of the V- inputs on one of the Spikes and share the Spike's return connection. Wire the R G B wires to any three Spike outputs you like, on either two or three Spikes, leaving any leftover Spike outputs unconnected.
Or you can wire it to the M- output of one Spike, and never turn that half of the Spike on (restrict the Spike to OFF and FORWARD).
