powering two amps

[aeon 10+ year member]

I need help deciding which option is better. I have two amps I want to power, a JL 300/4 and a 500/1 amp. I just wanted to know if it would be better to run a 0-2 gauge wire from the battery to a distributor block and run a 4 gauge wire to each amp from there or running two 4 gauge wires from the battery to each amp? also if i were to do either, what fuse type should I be using?

I would personally run a 1/0 to a dist block and then 2 4ga off it. I would say that 200 amp for 1/0 and then 100 for the 4ga.

wow thanks for the quick reply. so i would have to get separate fuses for each 4ga? knukonceptz seem to be out of stock on the 1/0ga amp kits.. are there any other places that you would recommend me checking out?

if your not planning on going any bigger...a good quality 4ga would be sufficient for those 2 amps.....
