[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 6519, member: 540940"] With the amount of power you have you'd be ok daisy chaining them like that. I'd recommend 8 ga wire from batt. to Kenwood, and make sure you have an in line fuse at the battery, probably 40 amps or so, and you may want to have about a 20 amp on the wire (10 ga) from the k'wood to the mtx unless it's a very short wire and there is absolutely no danger of it coming in contact with ground. You can use a standard automotive in-line fuse holder for that, ATC I think it's called, wal-mart has them for a couple bux. Remote wire's not critical, 18 ga. or so will work fine. You'll need some y cables for your rca's too (assuming your hu only has one set of pre-outs). Again, wal-mart, a couple bux. [/QUOTE]
