Can u guys comment on this? Its all 4 gauge

EVEN with 4 gauge before the distro block?

You don't need the 120amp inline fuse if you have the fused dist. block with adequete fuses for the respective amps. that is to say if the 80amp fuses in the Dist. Block are sufficient for the two amps then you can take out eh 120 inline fuse.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

while running an amp for your subs and 1 for your speakers can you just splice the remote wire for both and do you run rcas on the output of one amp and into the input of the other?

This would give you a 1ohm load on the amp, if each sub is connected to it's own amp then this would give you a 2ohm load on each amp

Sweet... thanks for the responses...

I'll keep that fuse there... too lazt to change it out anyhow, Im just wondering if the 4gauge before the distro block will be sufficient... I dont want to melt it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

You can daisy chain the remote and the RCA's and it won't cause a problem. The remote is just that, it is just a remote turn on switch. All it does it tells the amps to turn on with the HU. The RCA's carry the signal from the HU to the respective amps. If you want the two amps to get the same signals from the HU then it is not a problem. I run all my remotes and RCA;s to one amp and then from the output on that amp to the input on the next. it is daisy chaining and it happens all the time in car audio. Most people do this when running multi amps and the same thing with multi batts

I'll be daisy chaining... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif But the wiring before the distro in 4gauge is what worries me

I would run a short 2AWG from the batt to the dist. block and then 2 4AWG out and into the 2 amps. This would give you the power stepdown that you really need. if you run 4awg into a dist block and then 2 4awg out then you have a tremendous loss of power flow think of running wire just like running pipes for water if you want to keep the pressure up (lack of voltage dip) then you want to step down the wire at each stage, this keeps the power from getting too low.

How about a 1/0 gauge wire to the distro then 4 gauge ou to the amps from there? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

You could do that too especially if you plan on upgrading later. You cannot run too big a wire in most cases
