[QUOTE="grandam888, post: 7355522, member: 628519"] unless your on a super slim budget go with 4 gauge, you'll have some room to upgrade to better equipment in the future and have the power wire to allow it. knu Konceptz is easy on the wallet and its good wire. since you already have 8 gauge you would save money, your only pulling in the ballpark of 30-40 amps even w/ new the amp so amperage is within range for 8 gauge, but you can never go too big on power wire. the reason i say gauge to wire size is if you dont know this fact in the future, you may make the mistake of upgrading only the fuses and not the wire assuming that is all that's necessary. fusing is meant to protect wire from overheating and catching fire. its not "unsafe" to use too small a fuse for your gauge of wiring, you just need to know what fusing is actually for. if your keeping the 8 gauge, the "walmart dual amp kit" should work out okay. your running very little equipment in the aspect of amperage. you need to ground amps to chassis, don't use a ground distro block, and you can run 8 gauge to the back to a non fused distro, then 8 out to both amps.
