[QUOTE="slikrider20, post: 2220629, member: 563044"] Ok, so i have 4 gauge wire running to my distro from my batt. then i have a distro spliting it up to 8 gauge to the hifonics bx1505d and the kicker kx450.2. I know that a class D mono amp should be fine under 1400wrms....which is about what my hifonics is, probably even less. But if you have other amps running too, do you add their's up with it? If so would i add the rms of the hifonics, plus the rms of the kicker (i'm doin 150W X 2 @ 4ohm...so 300Wrms.? But keep in mind that the kicker isn't a class D mono. Also note that on my hifonics it seems i have to turn the gain quite high to get any output outta the sub...And we d'mm'ed it it needed to be almost almost 3/4 gains....Which size wire should suffice my needs? Oh and another question, if i run say 1/0awg to the distro, would then running a 4gauge wire to the amp in a short distance defeat the purpose of running all of the 1/0 since only 4gauge is goin into the amp?
