2 PDX Amps...is 6/8GA enough?

[gti303 10+ year member]

Basically I only had 1 PDX Amp with 4GA wiring...but now I want a second, and I don't want to run wire again...I bought a couple distro blocks for ground and power, but basically they don't fit the 4GA power wire as 'output' I have from knukonceptz...maybe I can fit some 6 gauge or 8 gauge in there...question is...if I run it like that...4 ga to the block, then 6 to the amp is that too thin of a wire?

yea I was thinking that...but kind of ghetto...might do it to save a few bucks tho...

I have a 4.150 right now...going to grab a 1.600 soon as well

It might be too small depending on length, just go to CC an pick up some of those Rockford blocks for $15.

why is it ghetto. Your just trimming down the wire to fit. Pretty simple to me and saves money.

Be carefull, Ive seen some cheap quality 4awg that was actually the size of 8awg, make sure you get a good name brand wire if you do go that route.
