can you double up power wires to amp??

[metalhdmatt 10+ year member]

reason why im asking is bc i use to have two amps, now i only have one so i have an extra power wire... was wondering if it would hurt to put it under the same fuse and double up for extra power flow? one is a 2g., im using it now and the other is a 4g. if not, why? i like to learn stuff... thanks!!!

Yes you can wont hurt a thing as long as the 4 and 2 gauge are fused near the front battery

was gonna run them on the same fuse but would it be better for them to have there own?

You can fuse them separately or on their own fuses. Just don't over fuse for the current capacity of anything.

And one thing to remember is that there is no such thing as too large a wire. Electricity only makes trouble when it's bigger than the conductor it's sent through.
