[QUOTE="momeigs, post: 8720916, member: 678761"] Ok so I kept the stock cables in the car that were on the battery’s posts before I did this big 3. Those cables are 4 gauge but I don’t suspect that would be the issue if I upgraded the grounds and power wire with 1/0 cable. As for the power distribution, the wire size is 4 gauge. The amps were not installed by me. I know that 4 gauge wire that is hooked up to the positive battery post went straight to the mono block amp before they installed the 4 channel. I’m also puzzled as to why there is only one wire powering two amps. I’m not to familiar with wiring amps but I know they did mention something about a distribution block. As for the tuning, I believe the system was only tuned on full volume with the bass knob at a little over 3/4 of the way up. The tuner let me know that I probably need a new battery due to my voltages dropping. [/QUOTE]
