Will this work

Thinking of using a 4 guage wire from battery to amplifier for a hifonics 1500d and using this kit

And then using an 8 guage wire from batery to amplifier for a audiobahn a400t 50watt x 4

Do you think those two kits would supply enough power to the amps? I was thinking about a fused distribution box w/ a 1 guage input and 4/8 guage output but this will end up being cheaper and easier for me. I'm just scared after using 15 feet of wire I will be losing power and should maybe use a bigger wire like 1 guage for the 1500d amp and 4 guage for the audiobahn but maybe ill be ok with what I have at the very top?

You should be OK running a 4gauge to the dist. block. But you can always run a bigger gauge to be on the safe side, if you think you might go bigger later on.

I agree with tplaya07. 4 gauge should be plenty, but bigger is always better. Trying doing the "Big 3" upgrade, it will really help stabilize the voltage.

I Big 3 agree with the above. When you do the Big 3 do it with a 2 guage...get those currents flowing. If you get ballsy...use a 1/0 for $hit$ and giggles.
