[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8676933, member: 650438"] 4 gauge only handles 130-150 amps of current. when you split that in half with two amps and 8 gauge is 50ish amps of power. I mean it'll work... but it'll be the exact same sh*t you have now, might as well not even do it at that point. Power travels from the battery not the distribution block, just because you have 4 gauge connected to the amp from the distribution block doesnt mean you are actually running 4 gauge wire when you split it like that. So yes your logic is spot on. as for the bass knob, think about it... if you figure out a way to swap it with the universal one, you cut your amp spending to a fraction and you get more power and you get a voltage meter to monitor system health. Vs keeping the JL bass knob and spending 500-800 on a 600-750 watt amp. Literally double to 3.5x the money vs figuring out how to make things work. [/QUOTE]
