[QUOTE="Fi-Chipmunk, post: 8167652, member: 657392"] Don't know who told you to run 4ga, but with the amps listed it looks as if there will be around 2200wrms overall. 4 gauge wire stops being useful around 1500 watts. To answer your question yes it will work, but it wont be very efficient and will likely strain your amplifiers and vehicle electrical system. It would be wise to invest in at least a $100 secondary battery such as the XS Power d975 or d750, purchase 1/0 from the website you listed, enough to cover the full positive run from front battery to rear battery as well as the "big 3" under your hood. Then do as suggested above with just running wires from amps off rear battery using whatever the amp takes, and proper fusing in place. Heres a pic to help describe distro blocks. These are 1 1/0 in and 2 1/0 out which can also hold 4ga which is whats pictured.
