[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8863664, member: 689267"] Assuming a 12 foot run, you could get away with 2-4 gauge, any further you're on the cusp. I would use a 1/0 gauge kit, fuse it 18" from the battery. This the most cost effective I could find and it includes an inline fuse: [MEDIA=amazon]B074K5DL2X[/MEDIA] That fuse is really about preventing fires from overheated wire, not protecting the equipment. Once you get that to the rear amplifier(s) location, then split it with a dual mini anl fuse block, run 4 gauge off the block to the separate amps. Something like this: [MEDIA=amazon]B097T5T1TB[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=amazon]B08K3N8C8G[/MEDIA] Each feed will use a fuse relative to the amps individual combined rating, the 1200.1would get a a 100A fuse and the 800.4 gets a 70A fuse - nice andtidey. I you have 6 RCS outs from the HU, then you are doing that part correctly. Run them to their respective channels paying attention to what I advised initially in regards to what channel to use for front and rear due to the differences in the x-over flexibilities. Once everything is dialed in, you'll still have control over things like right and left, front to back, etc, from the hu when done this way. The reason for the RCA out is so that you can run a single or dual RCA to the one amp and pass the signal on to the other. In situations where you are using a single or dual LOC out from the OEM HU, then you might use that setup, not for what you are doing if I recall. Oh snap, looks like the 1200.1 is down to 102.99!
