I also have the 8g kit I had sittin around already that should be plenty for this amp (300 watts rms, but old school rating)..how much do you guys think amp wise that the MTX will draw? 2 - 30 amp fuses are in the amp... so im thinkin 30-35 amps? or am i crazy? im not a crazy bumpin music kinda guy, volume wont really go above 60%so... long story short... the 4gauge should be able to handle 80 amp or so draw from what i know, so can i just run 8g to the dist block for the amp? the reason I am asking is because I have the 8g sittin there, and eventually i wanna upgrade to some other audio stuff and ill run 0 gauge to the back for that alone then...for now, amps adding up i would think i would be fine...  but i know you guys are the masters...ps - i could also run the 8g to the battery, but i wanna add another MTX amp soon (275 amp a friend has so 37.5 rms watts per channel) to run a couple front speakers, could the 8g from the battery handle the 2150x and the 275 MTX amps ok?as you can tell, im on a BUDGET.. so sorry if it makes no sense to the guys that can just afford to run 0 gauge and call it a day</blockquote>
