Better Wiring Option?

[07BronzeFuz 10+ year member]

I am doing to run 2 amps. a 4 channel rated at 50x4 at 4 ohms and a sub amp rated at 600x1 at 4 ohms bridged. I already have 4 ga wire. I dont think it will be enought to run both amps. Is it better to get a single run of 2 gauge or 0 gauge or just get another 4 ga and run each amp off of 4 gauge. ? I almost believe the 4 channel amp will be ok with a run of 8 gauge. Would 2 gauge to a block and then 2 4ga to each amp be ok? Im trying to do this the cheapest way possible. Thanks

You are better running one larger wire than two smaller wires. Run the 1/0 to a distro.
