[QUOTE="GuysIGotThis, post: 8342776, member: 660741"] Hey guys, just about to wire my new system this weekend. I have a simple question about wiring two amps. I'm running 4 gauge wire from my battery to the trunk. I was going to run an inline fuse in the engine bay. I know the proper way to wire two amps into that is to get a 4 gauge distributor block. But i'm having issue finding them locally. So I was wondering if I could run the 4 gauge wire straight to one amp, and then run said power cable from that amp to the next. I can find 4-8 Gauge distributors but I really do have a lot of 4 gauge wire so I was trying to keep it 4 gauge the whole way. I'm running one amp at 1000 watt rms and the other at 280 rms. Thanks guys! [/QUOTE]
