HELP with RF 700s Amp

[Billybob1235 10+ year member]

I am getting the Rockford Fosgate 700s amp. I need to know do I need to run 4 g. wire from the battery to the fuse, then 4 g wire from the fuse to a dist. block in the trunk, and then from the dist. block run two 8 g wires to the amp. Because there is 2 power inputs, and 2 ground. Or can i just run 8 g wire from the batery to the fuse, then to the amp?

Please help

Thanx Billybob

I would run 4 awg.... 8awg would work, but I would keep the 4awg incase you upgrade amps or ad an amp to mids/highs.... just cut off the surrounding wire on the 4 awg end so it will fit into the amp... or u can throw it into a dist block and then run an 8awg from that, but thats silly unless your going to hook another amp up soon.

the reason it has two 8awg inputs for power and two for ground is for easy installation of a cap, u dont need to use them both.

Not positive, but don't you really only need distr. blocks for 2 or more amps? Just a thought.
