If I get two amps should I buy two amp kits? Or shoud I just buy the individual wires and accesories. Also, do they sell installation kits for 0 guage?

If you get 2 amps, you should get a disto block. You won't need 2 kits for this, just buy a o guage kit(yes, they do make them), and pick up some power and ground wire in the size you need for the other amp, then just run the 0 guage from the battery to the disto block, and then run wire from that to each amp.

are you serious? I will just assum that was a joke....per your 2nd question: the out put of the amps does not determine the wire needed, you need to know the draw (amps) of each amp and length of wire you are using.

http://www.KnuKonceptz.com get your 0 guage wire, battery terminal, in-line fuse, a couple ground distro blocks (unfused), and your lower guage wires to run from the distro blocks... put a terminal at the end of the lower guage or run into the amp if the connection is a raw wire type..... you can get a different color for ground if you want, not necc... get a ring terminal though..

I don't know of many 0/1 guage dual amp kits, but they can be assembled from parts easily enough. As fused distro blocks don't gain anything other than more places where fuses can blow, just skip the fused distro and only have an in-line... and pay attention when wiring things up so you don't short anything.
