Hey, here's what I'm working with...4 channel 600w max amp running at around 300 rms. and another amp running around 550-600 rms. I have 4 gauge wire from the amp to the 4 channel already I just need to wire in the other amp. So here's what im thinking. 0 gauge from battery to a dist box from there i'll plug in the 4 gauge i already have and should i go with another 4 gauge to the other amp or go with 2? also what size fuse should i go with for the new amp and do i need one on the 0 gauge wire for any reason? anyhow, if you guys have a better wiring idea please lemme know!

where exactly are you gonna cut off the insert the distribution block with the 1/0 gauge??

i'd run 1/0 to the back and split it back there into 2 4 gauge runs, one to each amp. just fuse the 1/0 gauge strand close to the battery.

or you could just run another run of 4 gauge for the other amp.

4 guage will be plenty big to feed both of those amps. And dont do it Kody.

use 1in 2out distro block on the 4guage power wire, then use 4guage from there
