[QUOTE="dragonware, post: 8047331, member: 643746"] Im new at this can anyone explain to me in laymans terms , I have a 1000 4CH amp which drives my mids 4ch x 75RMS @ 4ohm and a 1400 RMS D class Mono block for my bass Hifonics @ 1ohm The bass amp needs 2 gauge ok No problem I can buy a wiring kit run 2 gauge from the battery up front to the amp no problem. But in hooking up my second amp the JCV it uses 8 Guage. In looking into distribution blocks if I use the 2 guage wiring kit. the Block will provide an output of 2x 4 guage wires. Does this not now step down my minimum requirement on my bass amp from 2-4 and will increase my mids amp from 8-4. How is this all possible is it ok how does it work ? if I were to make my own distribution block , can I use 2 gauge from the battery to the peice of aluminum, and then use what ever guage of wire I need for my amps going out ? if I make my own i could potentially connect other lights etc to the bolts ?
