[QUOTE="elementxero, post: 1786667, member: 567619"] Hey, I currently run 4ga to my trunk, into a 2 8gauge output distro block into two amps. I have a Kicker x2i crossover I want to add, but since I have a 2 output distro and REALLY don't want to have to buy a 3-output distro, I was wondering if I could just hook a 18ga wire to the weaker amp output for its power source. It doesn't use much power obviously since the hookups are tiny :P My electrical theory is obviously pretty weak to even be asking this question, and my gut tells me that the current will pull evenly to the 18ga wire and the 8ga wire if they are in the same output port, and obviously the fuse rating of the 18ga wire is much lower and I'd have myself a nice flaming wire. Just thought I'd ask in case I can get away with this without buying another distro [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
