If i only plan to run 2 amps in the car then would it be alright to just buy 2 separate amp kits verses spending the money on 0guage, disros, rcas and whatnot. Because it would be cheaper to buy an amp kit now and then when i get the sub in around december. Or just man up and do the 0guage run?

I like the HU but run 0/1 the first time around and you will be happy.

I guess ill go for the 0guage, now i have to figure out fuses, i drew a picture. Basically what size right after battery and the size for each amp at distro. The PG will use 8guage and the Alpine will use 4guage.

okay to figure that out then you take the fuse rating from the alpine which is??

then take the fuse rating from the PG which is??

Add them together to get the front fuse by the battery and put the same size in the distro block at least that is what I ALWAYS do.

Selecting a fuse has absolutely nothing to do with what equipment you're running. The purpose of the fuse on the power wire is to protect the wire not the equipment hooked up to it. Most decent amps have their own fuses. When selecting a fuse you should look at the specs of the wire. For example most 8 AWG needs about a 60 amp fuse, most 4 AWG needs about an 80 amp fuse, etc.
