i have 3 amps that i will be running in my car, two 400 watt rms alpine monos and a 125x4 rms rockford. i was wondering if i could safely run these off of a single 4 gauge and a distribution block, or if i should just run a separate wire for the rockford amp. thanks

Do you have the wire yet? 4 gauge is safe up to around 120a usually(the company may give a rating). I would get 0awg wire and run that to a distro to your amps.

ya i have 4 gauge installed now from my old setup, and i dont wanna spend another 100 or watever on 0 gauge. i think i have enough 4 gauge left to run another power wire, so i think ill just run two sets of 4 then

If you have the extra then run it and that is fine. I'm in the same situation, to much power for 1 4awg run, but I'm just gonna get a 0awg kit since I know I will upgrade again later on, I should have bought 0 the first time and did it right.
