[QUOTE="02WS6, post: 8693046, member: 678581"] You wont use the 4 gauge earth wire because you're splitting power to two different amps. Wire it like this: Battery to 4AWG to ANL Fuse back to 4AWG then Distro Block then 8AWG power to each amp, then individual 8AWG Earth from each amp to their own grounds in the car, keep these as short as possible. Less than one meter, half-meter if possible. For example: Many will wire their mid-amp under the seat of the car, so you'd run your 4AWG and distro block here and then connect amp and ground amp to a lower seatbelt bolt, then run your other 8AWG power to your trunk and ground your Sub amp in the trunk.
