You can either run another harness all the way to the battery or you will need a distrobution block to split the 4ga fot the other components. I'd look into how much current draw the Power inverter can make and add that to the ratings of both the amps to make sure you're not drawing too much current for the 4ga to handle.

I was thinking of maybe getting ) guage wire then splitting the 4 guage up for both the amps and then maybe like 8 guage for the power inverter the power inverter is about 500 watts...soo im all new to this 2 amp thing so i jsut thought you guys would know.

That would be a good idea, 0ga would give you a bit of headroom in the future and is generally the safe bet when running amps off of a distro. block //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Hmm, zip ties, a good Distro. Block (check eBay) a good grounding block. Sheet metal screws, something to strip the wire, battery terminals for the 0ga, a good fuse and housing, and maybe solder.

I'm sure I forgot something..... someone else can chime in and tell me what I missed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

what are the sheet metal screws for?

To mount the Grounding block. They can also be used to mount the fuse holder and Distro. as well, although you'll want to mount the distro. to the back of a seat or something that is NOT metal that can touch the chassis //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
