[QUOTE="veryphatpepsi, post: 2068580, member: 570014"] Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you just run one single wire from the battery to the trunk (or where ever the amp(s) may be) and then split the the wire with a distribution block? If I ordered 4 gauge for the main run from the battery to the amps, would that be enough for one amp and then another one later on? If so, should I use 8 gauge from the block to the amps? Also, at first, could I run the Infinity off the 4 gauge? I know that the second amp I want is relevant to what I need. I want a good thump, something that I'll definitely notice. I'm looking into this: [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-0zLVcGQUj3l/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=510&tab=features_and_specs&i=028V123BP"]http://www.crutchfield.com/S-0zLVcGQUj3l/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=510&tab=features_and_specs&i=028V123BP[/URL] I will need a 2 channel amp for that, right? (Sorry) Again, I want a good thump. I'm looking into a couple, but right now I'm just getting confused. Some have high wattage but are less expensive than ones with less watts. I know qaulity comes into play, but I'm just about dumb in the world of amps and etc. I would like to order my wires individually. (I'm good with wires. I'm really into computers and etc. Anyone into watercooling here?) Also, picking that don't come in a set can prove far more better than a previous selected kit. Just my personal experience (water cooling kits for comps). Also, I need to read up on fuses and etc. Will I need a different fuse at the beginning of the wire (one closest to the battery) for two amps than if I was just using one? Another question, will I need some kind of fuses off of the distribution block to use with the 8 gauge wire before they go to the amps? Sorry, I must admit that I'm taking advantage of your kindness. On other forums, I probably would have been told to search more. Rest assured, I am. I quite literally knew nothing about one week ago. I like to think that I'm doing ok. Actually, I JUST installed my first ever car stereo about a week ago. I didn't solder, though [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif[/IMG] .... I wanted it done fast. Here's a link of it.
