[QUOTE="johnecon2001, post: 699860, member: 556589"] 2awg would probably be best, but the 300watt amp doesn't need a run of 4 awg off of the distro. 8awg for that amp would be fine, but do use 4 awg for the other amplifier. 100-200A on 2 awg, 80-120A on 4 awg. I would do 60A for the 300 however and 80-100 for the 750. You want to get as close as possible to the wires main capacity to leave your self enough headroom to draw the power needed. if fuses begin to blow it MIGHT be a grounding problem.. it could also mean you have too small of a fuse in place and your overdrawing it thus it goes "pop". You can fix this by upping the ampers size of the fuse. [/QUOTE]
