[QUOTE="azphat12, post: 7149482, member: 619925"] If you run 4ga back, then 8ga for a short run to the amp then that should be fine. If you upgrade the amp you might have to upgrade that 8ga though. Also, you could buy a fused distro block. They are not all that expensive. I think Knukonceptz has one for $20 plus shipping. You could fuse your 4ga near the battery with say a 100 amp fuse, then use the 50amp/40amp fuse in the distro block for each 8ga run. That would give you a little more protection on your power wires for a small amount of money. Do you "have" to do that....no. But $20 give or take for more safety seems like a good deal to me.
