(model number please)Now, how do you plan on running 2 subs? Remember, your amp can only put out 100 watts into each of 2 channels, at 2 ohms. If it is bridgeable, that would be 200 watts into one load at 4 ohms. If you get two subs, they would each be getting only 65 watts or 100 watts, depending on if they were 4 ohms or 2 ohms.So, to sum it up, your amp does not have nearly enough power for 2 subs.Now, what is the model of your other amp that you say is 300 watts? Is this RMS watts? Is the 150 watt rating on your speakers a peak or RMS rating?Now onto the wire. Before I really answer that I need to know the real ratings of your amps. Because if you have over a certain amount of RMS watts, you will need to upgrade your wire.Few distro blocks are made for 8 gauge wire. So if you are going to be running 2 amps, I would highly suggest upgrading to 4 gauge power wire, no matter the power specs of your amps. Then you can get a fused distro block that has 4 gauge inputs and 8 gauge outputs.You would not want to go from an 8 gauge power wire to 4 gauge power wires. Remember, the bigger the gauge number, the smaller the wire. But also remember that when you go from a larger wire to a smaller wire (smaller gauge number to larger gauge number), you always have to have a fuse there. This is to prevent a fire in case the smaller wire shorts out.To learn more about amp setups and fuses, you can visit <a href="http://www.bcae1.com" target="_blank">http://www.bcae1.com</a></blockquote>
