Wiring 3 amps: anyone know how to do it on 4 gauge?

[Sub Woofin 10+ year member]

I've got 4 gauge running in my car right now, and plan on running 2 sub amps, and a 4 channel for speakers. My only problem is that i'm not sure if my system can handle it, and how/where to get a distro block that puts in one 4 and gets three 8 out. any help?

are you sure the wire can handle it?

So I'd get some 0ga cable and the distro block I showed you. You can still use the Knu 4ga to go to the amps

okay, thanks. that block looks like what would do the trick perfectly

go with 1/0 gauge if you want peace of mind

If you plan on taking it easy or not upgrading from what you have now, 4ga will probably get you by. If you plan on pushing it or upgrading at all, you will need 1/0ga.

Either way, if it was my car, I would go 1/0ga. If for nothing else than not having to worry about it.

haha, okay. i'm gonna push the 2 amps right now with 4 gauge, but for the future or if i add the 4 channel, i'll run 0 gauge just to be safe
