I just got a second amp, and i want to hook it up to capacitor/distribution block, there is 3 negative feeds, and 3 positive. Im thinking 2 positive from the amp, then 1 postivie to the battery(fused). Then 2 negative to the cap, and one to the chassy. Also I have a 4 gauge wire to the engine currently, If i use 4 gauge wire to the cap from the amps, will that disrupt electron flow? Should i use 8 gauge from the amp to the cap or can i use 4?

the wire gauge depends on the length of wire, and the current draw.
not knowing the wattage each amp will run or the current it'll draw, no way to tell.

the 611a will draw up to 61 amperes and the 4 channel 7541a will draw up to 89... I do know that 4 is bigger then 8 guage, what i would like to use is 4 all around, to the engine and from the amplifiers to the capacitor

2AWG from the battery to the D-block and 4AWG to each amp from there.
