Do it, they will sound 110 times better.

Any speaker of some substance will sound better with more power.

given that the run of 4 gauge isnt too long and depending on the amps you are running, that wiring may or may not be enough to get all that you can out of your gear. i would buy a 4 channel amp to power the speakers so you can stagger the output of them if you dont have time delay and also you keep your fader function. also, i would run a new set of rca's.

what do u mean "stagger the output"? like get a 4 channel and only hook up 2 channels? would it make a big difference if i ran a new power wire for the other amp?
