It seems like you're asking for technical advice on car audio wiring and fuse sizes. You might want to check a car audio guide or consult with a professional for detailed specifications.

If I’m looking at it right, that DS18 3000.4 is a 4 channel with a fuse rating of 80A? Can anybody confirm with that, it’s only rated 1000 to 1200 watts total RMS (split between the 4 channels) or so full range from what I seen, the 3000 is the “peak” crap.
The Skar 1500 mono is 150A.
Both amps have 4 gauge inputs.
I’d say absolute minimum wire would be 1/0 gauge copper from the main battery to the back. Fuse the main wire at the battery with 250A fuse.
Then distribution style fuse block with two fuses near the amps (the type that uses ring terminals so you can get whatever ring terminal fits the wire and fuse studs), to spit the power to each amp.
The 4 channel would get 4 gauge copper wire, but fused at 80A since that is what it calls for, the 1500 .1DM would get 4 gauge copper wire too, but with a 150A fuse.
Could perhaps run larger wire at the amps with reducers, but I never liked the reducers and I do not think that's necessary, the short runs of 4 gauge would be fine.
