You can't split 4ga. into one 8ga and one 4ga. You can do three 8's, but even that is pushing the limit for four gauge.Fuse the main line (4ga.) at 80 amp. At the distro, split it into two 8ga. lines. Those lines should be fused with 50-60 amp fuses. The purpose of fuses it to protect the wire, not to protect the amp. If you are melting the fuses, chances are that you are overdrawing the wire and you need to go bigger (hence bigger fuses) to support your amplifiers.</blockquote>
