[QUOTE="superakuma, post: 1220451, member: 563666"] My current system JBL P180.2 amp 90wRMS x2 @4ohm Directed 1100D 1100wRMS x1 @1ohm 4 gauge from power line split in a fused distro block and split into TWO 8 gauge wire and into each amp. I know the 4gauge main like should be able to handle the 1280wRMS or so that I am running right now and I know that the 8 gauge should be fine for the jbp 180wRMS amp. But Im iffy on the 8 gauge that Im using for the 1100wRMS amp even at only 2 ft long. And I got that 8 gauge wire from a cheap place so Im not sure if it really is TRUE 8 gauge. So I want to upgrade that line to a 4 gauge to that amp since they dont make/cant find anything else in between. The problem is that the Fused Distro block that I have is the one from knukonceptz and it does 4 gauge input and two 8 gauge output. I want to a get one that is 1/0 gauge input and atleast two 4 gauge output because when I plan to get a bigger system I just need to buy a 1/0 gauge main power line. Something like this [URL="http://www.cardomain.com/item/LITPD204"]http://www.cardomain.com/item/LITPD204[/URL] My question is can I saftly go from a 4 gauge main line and split it into ONE 8 guage(jbl) and ONE 4 gauge(directed amp)? Or would I need to upgrade the main line to an 1/0 gauge to do this saftly. BTW, where else can I buy amp install stuff(wires, fused distro block, fuse, RCA wires...) for a good price besided sd.com and knukonceptz.com or ebay? Mainly looking for a good cheap FUSED distro block that has one 1/0 gauge input and two 4 gauge output. [/QUOTE]
